GENERAL INFORMATION
This supplement details the certified capabilities of the AW139, when
equipped with Primus Epic Phase 7, to operate RNP Navigation
Specifications listed in following Table 1, in accordance with ICAO
9613 PBN manual Ed. 4th, AMC 20-26, AMC 20-27, AMC 20-28, AC
90-105A, AC 20-138D change 2 and AC 90-101A:
(*) Procedures with RNP lower than 0.3 NM in the approach segment
or 1.0 NM in the missed approach are not authorized.
The AW139 complies with requirements of AC 20-138D change 2 for
RNP operations with RF (Radius to Fix) legs when used in association
with RNP 1, RNP0.3, RNP APCH and RNP (AR) APCH Navigation
Specifications. The RF capability can be used during terminal
procedures, including approaches.
Note
RNP AR APCH 0.3/MA 1.0 certification approval does
NOT constitute operational approval.
SECTION 1 - LIMITATIONS
For Limitations not presented in this Supplement see Basic RFM or
appropriate Supplement.
RNP APCH approaches with LP minima are not supported.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
TYPE OF OPERATION
RNP operations are approved under Day/Night VFR and Day/Night
IFR operation.
Note
The airspeed at the FAF and MAP, as indicated on the
the Approach Plate being used, must not be exceeded.
Note
Use of IAS mode is recommended with RNP APCH and
RNP AR APCH approaches below 60 KIAS.
CAUTION
Note
If the pilot decides to fly the lateral and vertical deviations
displayed manually (glideslope lower than 7.5°), then
neither LNAV nor VGP should be engaged. A mix of
LNAV engagement and hands-on flying the vertical
deviation, with no VGP engagement, should not be used
for LPV approaches.
During FAS
Note
The approach airspeed should account for head or tail
winds to ensure a ROD of 1000 fpm is not exceeded
while approaching the MAP.
CAUTION
Note
If the altimeter crosscheck fails then the
procedure must not be continued.
Note
During RNP AR APCH approach, if the aural message
“RNP RNP” is activated (the expanded lateral deviation
indicator on ADI turns amber), then a missed approach
must be initiated.
During FAS
Note
The approach airspeed should account for head or tail
winds to ensure a ROD of 1000 fpm is not exceeded
while approaching the MAP.
CAUTION
GENERAL
The following malfunction procedures are intended to integrate those
of the basic RFM and, if a Flight Director is used, those of the
applicable Supplement installed 67, 69 or 70.
The following malfunction procedures are to be used only during RNP
Operations.
In the specific case of loss of GNSS Navigation information the FMS
system reverts to the remaining navigation sensors, which are not
allowed for use during RNP Operations.
Even when using non-GNSS sensors or in degraded mode (EPU
higher than RNP), the FMS continues to provide navigational position,
groundspeed, and ground track information. The procedure waypoints
still remain displayed in the PFD.

SECTION 4 - PERFORMANCE
No Change.
GENERAL INFORMATION
RNP AR APCH Operational approval must be requested by Aircraft
Operator (AO) and granted by the local Competent Authority. A Flight
Operational Safety Assessment (FOSA) methodology is used.
The FOSA must account for the fact that a loss of GNSS reception (in
case of loss of GNSS satellites view or dual GNSS receiver failure)
has, as a consequence, the loss of RNAV and RNP capabilities.
In case of loss of RNP capability during RNP AR operations, the flight
crew must discontinue the approach, unless the pilot has runway
visual references in sight.
In this case, the relevant and specific contingency procedures
(assessed in the FOSA) must be applied to terminate the RNP
navigation and revert to conventional navigation or apply specific ATC
instructions.
For all navigation specification listed in Table 1, except for LPV
approaches, the FMS (selected as Navigation Source) computes
lateral path deviation/guidance by using available sensors for position
computation. The lateral deviation computed by FMS is used as input
for LNAV Flight Director Mode.
For approaches with LNAV, LNAV/VNAV and RNP 0.3 minima/MA 1.0,
FMS uses baro VNAV to compute vertical path deviation/guidance.
The vertical deviation computed by FMS is used as input for VGP
flight director mode.

For the specific case of LPV approaches, lateral and vertical deviation/
guidance are directly computed by GPS, based upon the FAS data
block defining the approach path. These deviations are used as input
of NLOC / NGS flight director modes, respectively.
Intercept of the final approach segment may be performed either flying
an approach transition or through vectoring.
The following table provides, as reference, the ROD (Rate Of
Descent) for varying Ground Speed (GS) and Glide Path Angle (GPA):

LPV ANNUNCIATION
When an approach contains LPV line of minima, this is indicated in the
MCDU ARRIVAL page under the RNAV MIN prompt.

The flight crew shall avoid selecting an approach
minimum that is not clearly stated on the approach chart,
despite the FMS allowing selection multiple minima
types. Refer to Honeywell publication D201710000025.
