Not much use yet, other than oceanic routes, I guess. But the theory

That is a major disconnect between avionics engineers who dream of
selling
more and more equipment and of an ATC system driven by radar separation
and
navigation. And, the radar isn't getting any better with some limited
terminal exceptions.


The move to RNP is, in part, driven by the desire for increased
airspace capacity, including airspace with limited radar coverage.
