Performance-Based Navigation Benefits

The RNP AR contains all the advantages of the RNAV concept in terms of flight path tracking and repeatability. The improved flexibility that the RNP AR procedure design brings ensures the benefits are significantly improved.

This type of tailored procedure is particularly recommended in areas where operations are limited by challenging obstacles, infrastructure unavailability or high airspace congestion (such as parallel, converging or adjacent airport operations). Tracks are no longer limited to straight lines associated with the runway alignment.

By reducing the weather minima and improving the required visibility during approaches, RNP AR may assist in avoiding weather-related disruptions.
