4. RNAV MINIMA
RNAV minima are dependent on navigation equipment capability, as stated in the applicable AFM or AFMS, and as outlined below.

5. RNAV MINIMAcontinued
6. APPROVAL BASIS Electronic VNAV (EVNAV)
Based on WAAS vertical
RNP- 0.3 VNAV
Based on barometric VNAV (BVNAV)
Requires compliance with AC 20-129
AFM entry, approved for approach operations
Other RNAV Systems
AC 90-97 provides guidance for operational use of GPS based LNAV/BVNAV systems
Ops approval required for all other LNAV/BVNAV systems
7. LNAV/VNAV VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE
8. LNAV/VNAV LATERAL OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE
9. RNP-0.3 TERPS RNP-0.3 Obstacle clearance criteria is currently under development for TERPS
Planned schedule for publishing in TERPS is March 2001
Final approach obstacle clearance assessment will be based on linear areas
Based on Alert Limits
1 RNP Alert : 2 RNP Obstacle Clearance
2 RNP Alert : 3 RNP Obstacle Clearance
10. RNP VS STANDARD TERPS PRIMARY AREAS
11. RNP IMPLEMENTATION Standard LNAV/VNAV Area Evaluation
RNP Area Evaluation
Identify controlling obstruction in each area
Publish public DA based on standard area evaluation
Annotate Form 8260-x with DA based on RNP area evaluation
Qualified operator can be issued RNP minima
12. OBSTACLE EVALUATION (OE) PROCESS OE process evaluates proposed construction
Obstruction impact based on standard areas only
Hazard if significant change of flight paths or increase in standard area minimums
A no-hazard response based on RNP areas would allow construction adversely impacting procedures based on standard areas
Increased density of new obstructions would develop near RNP areas: Concrete Canyon
