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.
