PBN Approaches- Navigation Specification

RNP Approach

RNP AR Approach

• Navigation based on GNSS only.

• There is NO RNAV specification for Approach Procedures

RNP APCH –
Flown to LNAV minima.
RNP APCH with Baro-VNAV
Flown to LNAV/VNAV minima
Also called APV Baro
RNP AR (Authorization Required) APCH
Flown to LNAV/VNAV minima but reduced terrain
clearance
RNP APCH using SBAS augmentation
Flown to LP or LPV minima
Called an APV SBAS

Initial Approach Segment -T Bar

• Construction of Initial approach(es) for smooth interception to RNAV(final) Approach

• Normally, reversal procedure is not necessary.
• Y-Bar is used when 90-deg arrangement (T-Bar) is not practicable.
• Effective when airspace is sufficient. However, maybe ineffective for mountainous area.
(MVA, altitude restriction for obstacle, etc.)

Initial Approach Segment -Y Bar

• IAF in use depends on the direction which aircraft
comes from.

• Following turns are assumed, in principle:

• For T-bar - Within 90 deg for turns at IAF & IF

• For Y-bar:
• Within 70 deg for turns at IAF (center)
• 70-110 deg for turns at IAF (R/L)
• Within 70 deg for turns at IF
• “Direct” must be within 90 deg for T bar and Y
bar

RNP APPROACH- TITLE

• Until 30 Nov 2022 - Approach charts depicting procedures meeting RNP APCH navigation
specification will include term RNAV (GNSS)
RNAV(GNSS) RWY 27
• From 1 Dec 2022 - the procedures that meet RNP- APCH navigation specification criteria will
include term RNP
RNP RWY 27
• The identification will also include parenthetical suffix when exceptional conditions occur:
LPV ONLY RNP RWY 27 (LPV only)
LNAV/VNAV Only RNP RWY 27 (LNAV/VNAV only)
LPV, LNAV/VNAV but no LNAV RNP RWY 27 (LPV, LNAV/VNAV only)
LP only RNP RWY27 (LP only)

• chart

RNP AR APPROACH-TITLE

• Until 30 Nov 2022 – RNP AR APCH navigation specification will include term
RNAV RNP
RNAVRNP RWY 27

• From 1 Dec 2022 - the procedures that meet RNP AR APCH navigation
specification criteria will include term RNP with parenthetical suffix (AR)
RNP RWY 27 (AR)

Temperature Limits
• Effect of Temperature
• While trying to fly the published altitude on Intermediate Segment,
actual flight altitude is lower in cold days than in warm days since
air mass is compressed.
• Therefore, procedure is designed considering:
• Obstacle is assessed assuming cold days.
• Lowest vertical path shall not be less than 2.5 deg even in cold
days.
• Minimum temperature for which Baro-VNAV is authorized is
published.

• LPV DA(H) Surface/Height Loss

• LNAV/VNAV DA(H) Surface/Height Loss

• LNAV OCA(H) Area/MOC

• Circling OCA(H) Area/MOC
