SRVSOP AC 91-006
1) The pilot must notify the ATC of any loss of RNP capability (integrity alerts or loss of
navigation), together with the proposed course of action. If, for any reason, it is not
possible to meet the requirements of a Basic-RNP 1 SID or STAR, pilots must notify the
ATS as soon as possible. Loss of RNP capability includes any failure or event that
causes the aircraft to be unable to meet the Basic-RNP 1 requirements of the route.
2) In case of a communication failure, the flight crew must continue with the established
procedure for loss of communication.
11. TRAINING PROGRAMMES
11.1 The training programme for flight crews and flight dispatchers (DV) shall provide sufficient
training (e.g., using flight training devices, flight simulators and aircraft) on the RNP system to the
extent necessary. The training programme will include the following topics:
a) information about this AC;
b) the meaning and proper use of aircraft equipment and navigation suffixes;
c) the procedures characteristics as determined from chart depiction andtextual description;
d) the depiction of WPTs types (fly-by and flyover) and ARINC 424 path terminators provided in
Appendix 1 to this AC and any other types used by the operator, as well as those associated
with the aircraft flight paths;
e) the navigation equipment required to conduct Basic-RNP 1 SIDs and STARs.
f) specific information on the RNP system:
1) levels of automation, annunciation modes, changes, alerts, interactions, reversals, and
degradation;
2) integration of functions with other aircraft systems;
3) the meaning and appropriateness of route discontinuities as well as related flight crew
procedures;
4) pilot procedures consistent with the operation;
5) types of navigation sensors (e.g., GNSS) used by the RNP system and associated
system prioritization, weighting and logic;
6) turns anticipation, taking into account the effects of speed and altitude;
7) interpretation of electronic displays and symbols;
8) understanding aircraft configuration and operational conditions required to support Basic
RNP 1 operations; e.g., appropriate selection of the lateral deviation indicator (CDI)
scaling;
g) operating procedures for RNP equipment, as applicable, including how to perform the
following:
1) verify currency and integrity of aircraft navigation data;
2) verify the successful completion of RNP system selft-tests;
3) initialize RNP system position;
4) retrieve and fly a Basic-RNP 1 SID or STAR with the appropriate transition;
5) adhere to speed and altitude constraints associated with a Basic-RNP 1 SID or STAR;
6) select the appropriate Basic-RNP 1 SID or STAR for the active runway and become
familiar with the procedures to deal with a runway change;
7) verify WPTs and flight plan programming;
