Required Navigation Performance

RNP enables aircraft to fly more precise approaches through tight corridors and congested airports.

  • Allows lower minima during inclement weather
  • Increases operational efficiency by flying direct routes and curved paths
  • Provides more favorable routing into congested or terrain-challenged airspace
  • Facilitates noise abatement compliance
  • Increases safety due to repeatable and predictable paths
  • Lowers RNP from 0.3 to 0.1 nautical miles
  • Supports the NextGen capabilities and will allow better access to busy airports in large, metropolitan areas
