Developed RNP Procedure To Runway 28 At KSAV As Proof Of
Concept
Jeppesen has been granted a certification by the FAA to design,
flight validate and maintain public Required Navigation Performance
(RNP) Special Aircrew and Aircraft Authorization Required (SAAAR)
procedures in the United States.
Jeppesen first applied to be part of this program in mid-2007,
and to achieve the authorization, proved to FAA officials its
expertise in all facets of RNP procedure design and maintenance,
including: simulator testing, ground validation of obstacles at and
around the airport and flight validation to assure safe
operation.
As part of the qualification process, Jeppesen designed a public
RNP procedure to runway 28 at Savannah/Hilton Head International
Airport, Savannah, Georgia (KSAV).
Jeppesen flight validated the procedure in conjunction with
NetJets. The RNP procedure is expected to be operational in the
last quarter of 2009. “This qualification enables Jeppesen to
provide turnkey RNP solutions to the global aviation market. Our
customers around the world can be assured that they will receive a
high quality product from Jeppesen as we have proven our
capabilities to the FAA,” said Andy McDowell, director of
Airspace and Airport Services for Jeppesen.
Jeppesen provides a complete Performance Based Navigation
program that includes FAA-qualified AC90-101 consulting, RNP and
RNAV flight procedure design, analysis of fleet missions and route
structure to optimize RNP implementation strategy and validation
activities to support those procedures. Jeppesen works closely with
its parent company, Boeing, on a number of RNP programs.
