FAP on RNP approaches

Wrong Reno ILS. Look at the "Z" approaches.

Okay, I see this looks just like those other overlays the FAA was doing, what 5000 of them, to try to show some sort of progress.

Now there are RNAV/RNP to ILS procedures (which work so well in the box), yet another attempt by the FAA to claim NextGen progress?

I thought the meeting with Trump and the airlines was entertaining, I cant believe they let the cameras in there, and kept them going when the FAA was getting trashed. Great PR for the FAA and great information for the public to know.
Look for a separate FAA and ATO....

Reno 16R Z with RF legs was driven by Southwest Airlines, not the FAA.

of course, everyone has given up on any progress, such as GBAS, so the airlines have to run with what the FAA has the ability to approve, ie 1950's technology.

RNAV RNP turns to an ILS final, certainly not any disconnect in the FMS systems?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

It's been done for years: LNAV to ILS to LNAV missed approach. The only difference here are RF legs in the LNAV portion.
