RNP $4,000 CASA Rip-Off?
Thread Starter
I understand this CASA RNP approval will also be required for all aircraft that fly under the IFR. Yes even a 182!
Can anyone find out if this approval is also required by the FAA.? I have not been able to get the facts on this.
What with mandatory ADSB out for all IFR aircraft coming soon and now this- I would imagine serious economic damage to our Australian GA industry.
I was responsible for the Yates report that removed the expensive requirement for first of type approval by the authorities in Australia. So far , despite predictions , no measurable safety reduction has taken place.
I like saving our industry money.

I would have thought if you're not using GPS for IFR Nav then no, you wouldn't need RNP approval. Given that GPSRNAV grandfathers over to NAV/RNP2 automatically, I'd very much doubt there'd be $4k involved.
Given ADS-B needs some sort of "proper" GPS, I would have thought RNP2 approval would be automatic (unless you don't have any display for it).
