Yes, but that is bogus RNP, in that they use terrain mapping radar and some other enhancements to keep off the canyon walls. anything that helps the nav system maintain containment and integrity is perfectly ok. -- Bob Noel By that definition, eyeballs work well when you can see. No doubt that belts and suspenders work well, but using the terrain mapping feature of airborne weather radar doesn't fit the ICAO definition of RNP. It works at Juneau because of the topography. It wouldn't work at most places. |
