| Efficient Operations Begin with RNP
Aircraft operations are exceedingly complex. RNP has the potential to reduce the clutter and bring clarity—resulting in lower costs, more on-time flights and better return on capital investment. Reduced Variance: Traditional navigation procedures add uncertainty requiring longer block times to compensate for the outliers. RNP mitigates this, resulting in higher gate and aircraft utilization as well as increased on-time performance. 
Lower Minima: RNP "fits" into obstacle-restricted areas, lowering landing minima (the height at which crews must be able to see the runway to carry out the landing). Lower landing minima reduce flight diversions and cancellations due to weather. Increased Payloads: Using traditional navigation procedures, departing aircraft needing to clear an obstacle may require climb performance that cannot be accomplished at maximum gross take-off weight. Obstacle-avoiding RNP departures have lower climb performance requirements, allowing aircraft to carry more cargo, fuel or passengers. Increased Reliability: RNP does not rely on ground-based navigation aids, whether radar control or radio-beacon-based. Even when those services are not present, RNP still functions normally. |
