Concept

This course offers specialised training in the design of Required Navigation Performance – Authorization Required (RNP AR) instrument flight procedures. Participants gain in-depth knowledge of RNP AR principles, procedure construction, publication requirements, and practical applications, ensuring compliance with ICAO standards and operational safety.

Learning outcomes

Having completed the course, the student should:

  • Understand RNP AR general principles, applications, and design criteria.
  • Construct procedure segments while accounting for terrain, performance, and navigation factors.
  • Prepare procedures for publication, including charting, minima, and promulgation restrictions.
  • Apply concepts through exercises and case studies in real-world scenarios.

Prerequisites

The course is designed for flight procedure designers, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), aviation regulators, and other stakeholders involved in instrument procedure development.

Attendees must have completed a basic flight procedure design training course in the last two years or be in current or recent practice as a procedure designer.

The language of instruction is English. Attendees must be proficient at least to STANAG 6001 Level 3, ICAO Level 4 or CEFR Level B2.

Method of instruction

In-person classroom instruction. Lectures followed by practical exercises and debrief.

Duration

Approximately 35 classroom hours.
