Can anyone give me some guidance on operating a commercial aircraft into Australia which does not have RNP capability. Our B735 has dual IRS but no GNSS and only single FMC.

I have reviewed the requirements on the CASA website but still not fully clear to me. I have sent a question to CASA a couple of weeks ago asking clarification but no reply as yet.

Appreciate if anyone can give some guidance.

"I have sent a question to CASA"

Did you really expect a reply to be "sent"?

That could hold a person accountable, not that that happens in CASA. But it would make them look foolish in front of others at CASA.

I am not sure but it could depend on the country of registration of the aircraft.

A helpful response, but don't pass up an opportunity to give CASA a serve.

OP: Send another email to the "international_ops" address on this page, and include the Team Leader in the form grant.hamilton@casa etc.

Thanks CaptainMidnight, my original e-mail was to International Ops. I have resent it and copied to Grant Hamilton as you suggest. Let's see what happens next.
