Even where terrain is not an issue, airspace complexity can be an issue. An RNP approach procedure at Chicago Midway makes it possible for operators to access runway 13C using a route arriving from the southwest, which can simplify arrivals when other approaches would conflict with traffic from nearby O’Hare International. Note that RNP does not specify a particular nav-aid type or method to meet the performance goal. As a practical matter, it’s usually GPS, but high-end systems also use inertial navigation and distance measuring equipment. Airlines and top-end executive jets typically have multiple navigation sources plugged into a flight management computer, which will be connected to the aircraft flight director and autopilot. Indeed, this setup – with all key navigation devices duplicated for redundancy – is part, but not all, of what is required for FAA authorization to fly current RNP-AR approaches.
