Has Proven Expertise In All Facets Of RNP Design And
Maintenance
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, GA (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.
