The document outlines procedures and checklists for conducting RNAV approaches, including preparation, in-flight procedures, and missed approach procedures.

The pre-flight checks include checking the receiver software and database are current, performing a functional check on startup, checking system settings and display parameters, entering the flight plan or route, and reviewing the loaded approach.

When approaching the IAF, the pilot should re-check/set the HSI/CDI navigation source to the FMS/GPS, check that the approach is correctly activated, set any required terrestrial navaids, check the next track, distance and level, and complete aircraft approach checks.

RNAV (GNSS) / RNP APCH Preparation Checklist

Flying RNAV (GNSS) approach


 Selecting instrument approaches from the database
 Routing directly to the IAF and IF
 Vectors to Final Approach Track (FAT) and to the FAF
 RTF phraseology
 Use of check-lists in the air
 Approach mode activation and indication
 Monitoring of HSI/CDI display scaling
 Monitoring of approach progress and vertical profile
 Transition to visual flight at minima
 Missed approach procedures with and without GPS navigation

Action in the event of;


 General Loss of Navigation
 Loss of or unavailability of RAIM function Loss of SBAS signal (where applicable)
 Loss of VNAV capability and reversion to LNAV minima when possible
 Disparity between GPS and conventional nav-aids.
 Other messages and warnings during the approach
 Reverting to alternative navigation techniques
 Overlays & Monitored Approaches

Flight planning (FOO/Dispatcher & Pilots)


 Confirm approach published as “RNAV (GNSS) Approach”
 Identify alternate approach facility or alternate aerodrome
 Check weather suitability
 Perform RAIM prediction
 Check NOTAMS (including SBAS NOTAMS) & NANUS Other Equipment –
 Check NOTAMS for availability of other navaids
RNAV (GNSS) / RNP APCH Checklist

Pre-flight checks
 Check receiver software version current
 Check aeronautical database version current
 Perform functional check on start-up.
 Monitor auto-test function, confirm status of system and navigation availability
 Check system settings and display parameters (as applicable to receiver type)
 Set CDI scaling to ‘automatic’,
 Check setting of alarms, airspace and altitude buffers
 Check Map display settings, de-clutter and map orientation
 Check heading and track display (magnetic, true etc…)
 Check the units of measure of distance, speed, altitude, barometric pressure and position format
 Select display to show, at least: Desired Track (DTK), Groundspeed (GS), Distance to next
waypoint (DIS)
 Check date and time format.
 Check setting of other units of measure such as fuel quantity
 Enter Flight Plan or Route
 Add expected approach to Flight Plan or Route using Name or SBAS channel number (where
applicable)
 Review loaded approach procedure for reasonableness and accuracy against published approach
plate or chart
IN FLIGHT
Before reaching IAF
Within 30 nm of destination:
 Confirm revised ETA within RAIM Prediction Window
 Check status of system and satellite coverage
 Check navigation mode, EPE, DOP or HUL where applicable
 Obtain Clearance for Approach
 Re-check loaded procedure for:
Waypoint sequence.
Reasonableness of the tracks and distances,
Accuracy of the inbound course and length of nal segment.
Identify any y-over waypoints
Check presentation of procedure on any map display Check/Set HSI / CDI navigation source to
FMS/GPS Check display mode & CDI Scaling (1nm or “terminal”)
Complete approach brief including minima and MAP
Set FMS/GPS system altimeter setting to destination QNH (baro-aided receivers) 1
RNAV (GNSS) / RNP APCH Checklist (Cont’d)

Approaching the IAF


 Re-check/ Set HSI / CDI Navigation Source to FMS/GPS
 Check Approach correctly activated in receiver
 Set and identify terrestrial navaids as required
 Check next Track, Distance and Level from approach chart
 Complete aircraft approach checks as applicable to type
 Descend in accordance with the procedure (if applicable)

At the IAF
 Set HSI/CDI to next track and turn aircraft when advised by receiver
 Descend in accordance with procedure (if applicable)

At the IF
 Set HSI/CDI to final or next approach track and turn aircraft when advised by receiver
 Descend in accordance with procedure (if applicable)

Approaching the FAF


 Complete aircraft landing checks as applicable to type
 Check altimeters set and crosschecked
 Check correct approach mode annunciator as applicable to approach type
 Check CDI Scaling correctly adjusted to final approach setting
 Check system messages and flags clear
 Cross-check final track on approach chart
 Review minima (Step-down, MDA/H and RVR/visibility)
 Review MAP

Final Descent
 Monitor lateral deviation on HSI / CDI For APV
 Monitor vertical (glidepath) deviation on display For LNAV only
 Monitor CDFA descent profile using altimeter against vertical profile on chart

Missed approach
 Go-around in accordance with normal aircraft procedures

RNAV (GNSS) / RNP APCH Checklist (Cont’d)

If RNAV information is lost or a loss of integrity (or RAIM) message or warning is visible:
 Re-set HSI/CDI navigation source to VOR/LOC
 Continue with published MAP or as directed by ATC
 Inform ATC that RNAV navigation has been lost

If RNAV information is still available:


 Ensure display has not entered a suspense mode at the MAPt. If necessary, unsuspend receiver
to enable correct MAP in the display Continue with RNAV (GNSS) MAP or as directed by ATC
 Monitor any terrestrial navaids available during the MAP phase
