RNP/RNAV(GNNS) LNAV/VNAV MINIMUM FCM TRAINING

- Saudi Airlines is authorized to conduct RNP and RNAV(GNSS) approaches down to

LNAV/VNAV minimums.

Both pilots must complete the required training (CBT+SIM), to be able to start conducting

the approach during normal line operation.

LNAV/VNAV approaches use both lateral and vertical guidance. Vertical guidance is provided

by the barometric vertical navigation (BARO VNAV) sensors providing an accurate barometric

pressure reading (QNH).

Requirement and Limitations to conduct approaches to LNAV/VNAV minimums:

(Reference Company Procedures), Performance Based Navigation (PBN)

1. Approach is selected from an approved and current data base.

2. Modification or manual entry of approach waypoint is prohibited.

3. Approach has an accurate published final approach course as the RNP or RNAV(GNSS)
charts.

4. Direct clearance to initial fix (IF) or intermediate fix (IF) is allowed but not to the (FAF).

5. Direct to clearances may be accepted to the intermediate fix (IF) provided the resulting track
change at the IF does not exceed 45 degrees.

6. GPS/GNSS system should be operational, and RAIM notams are not available.

7. LNAV and VNAV modes must be operational.

8. Approach has a published vertical descent angle.

9. The VNAV path must cross at or above all step down fixes.

10. VNAV path angle must be in the range of 2.75-3.50 deg.

11. Deviation above and below the barometric VNAV path must not exceed 75 feet.

12. At the FAF altitude cross check call, insure that both altimeters agree within ± 100 feet.

13. The temperature limitation and temperature altitude corrections should be applied by pilots as
provided in the FCOM, if the airport temperature is below 0 deg, or is below the minimum
temperature for the approach being flown, advise ATC of the corrections.

14. RNP accuracy required, and the cross Track Error/Deviation allowed for the approach are :

. Initial APP. 1 RNP—————0.50 actual RNP

. Intermediate APP. 1 RNP—————0.50 actual RNP

. Final APP. .30 RNP———— 0.15 actual RNP

. Missed APP. 1 RNP—————0.50 actual .

15. For approaches with a missed approach procedures based on a radio aid ( VOR or NDB), the

appropriate radio aid must be operational.

16. Pilots should revert to the LNAV line of minima if unable to comply with LNAV/VNAV minimum

requirements..

17. Do not add 50 feet to the LNAV/VNAV DA.Only add 50 feet to the MDA or DA/MDA minimums

18. The procedure must be discontinued under conditions provided in the respective FCOM.
