Overview
This course details criteria for the design of RNP AR approaches.
Objectives
This course deals with the RNP AR approaches criteria. At the end of this training, the participant, as future procedure designer tutored by a senior procedure designer is able to:
- Design or Cross check RNP AR procedures
- Enable Charting and coding of RNP AR procedures
Participants concerned
Experts or confirmed procedure designers
Prerequisites
Attendance of the course about Baro-VNAV approaches is required.
Attendees should feel comfortable:
- To communicate in English,
- With the use of an automatic tool
Tuition fees
- Free for active and user member states,
- 1000$ one person per week for non-member states.
Content
The course covers underlying principles and procedure design criteria of RNP AR Approach as laid down in ICAO Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required Procedure Design Manual Doc.9905. Knowledge of criteria is presented to trainees followed by practical exercise for the implementation of the criteria. Some RNP AR cases will be discussed in the course.
Focus
The course deals with:
- RNP AR operation requirements,
- Corrections applied for cold temperatures,
- General criteria issued for ICAO 9905,
- RNP AR approach minimum calculation and coding,
- FOSA,
- Discussion about RNP AR Departure Procedures.
Theoretical courses
5 days' courses are in remote classes. Presentation and explanation of the rules and principles described in ICAO Doc 9905 and 9613.
Exercises
Elementary use of the regulation concepts in a simplified environment, conducted to enforce the theoretical input.
Exercises are daily scheduled.
The exercises about departure criteria are in remote classes.
