Required Navigation Performance (RNP) is one of the key enabling capabilities of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) – only RNP is here today.

RNP takes advantage of onboard navigation capabilities, including GPS and inertial navigation systems, enabling aircraft to fly precise, predetermined flight paths loaded in their flight management computers. Accuracy is assured through on-board performance monitoring, giving pilots the ability to break off an approach if errors exceed the pre-determined RNP value.

Carefully designed RNP approach and departure procedures have significantly improved access to terrain-challenged airports, reduced diversions due to weather conditions and increased schedule reliability. They also make for safer operations and more direct routing, with consequent reductions in fuel, emissions and noise.

RNP also will expand airspace capacity, one of the thrusts of NextGen, by reducing aircraft separation and allocating airspace more efficiently. FAA says several NextGen solutions depend on it, including trajectory-based operations, arrivals and departures at high-density airports and optimized profile descents.

But what is required of an aircraft operator to obtain RNP authorization, equip its aircraft and train its pilots – and importantly, what is the cost?

For the answers to these and other questions, we’ve assembled a panel of experts in assessing, designing and implementing RNP programs. This Avionics Magazine Webinar, “Required Navigation Performance: Operations and Equipment,” will provide practical advice based on a wealth of experience to operators considering or moving ahead with RNP. And the webinar is interactive: registrants can pose questions to the speakers for discussion in real time.

Among discussion points:

• What is the business case for RNP?
• What is required to obtain operational approval for RNP procedures, what is the cost, how long does it take?
• What is required for onboard equipment?
• What is the process of designing and validating flight procedures?
• What are the training requirements for pilots flying RNP procedures?
• What has been the practical experience of airlines and business jet operators already flying RNP procedures?
• When can an airline expect a return on its RNP investment?

This webinar also is a participatory event, in which the moderator fields questions from you, the registrant, and presents them to the speakers for discussion in real time.

How does the Webinar work?

It's easy and convenient! You just need RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

• One (1) set of materials (you may make copies for all of the persons you invited to listen to the program);
• One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection), and
• One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.

Use speakers on your computer or speakerphone on your telephone and invite your entire staff to attend for FREE!

What equipment do I need?

For the audio connection:

• A computer with RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed. When you log into the Virtual Seminar, your computer will be taken through a brief configuration check and will let you know if you're missing any software.
• If you do not have RealPlayer or Windows, a touch-tone telephone will work also. It works best to use a speakerphone so that others can listen too.

For the Internet connection:

• PC: 166Mhz Pentium-based PC or better
• Operating system: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP
• Browser: For optimal viewing experience, we recommend using Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. However, any version of IE 4.0 or higher will work. For Netscape, only versions 4.x are supported at this time.
• Internet connection: 28.8 or faster connection
• Display set at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600
