11. TRAINING PROGRAMME
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 RNAV
system to the extent necessary. The training programme will include the following topics:
a) information about this CA;
b) the meaning and proper use of aircraft equipment and navigation suffixes;
c) the characteristics of procedures, as determined in chart displays and in the text description;
d) the representation of the types of WPTs (fly-by and fly-over) and ARINC 424 path terminations
provided in Paragraph 8.4 and any other type used by the operator, as well as those
associated with the aircraft flight paths;
e) the navigation equipment required to operate in RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 routes, SIDs and STARs
(e.g., GNSS, DME/DME and DME/DME/IRU).
f) specific information on the RNAV 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 convenience of en-route discontinuities, as well as procedures related
to the flight crew;
4) pilot procedures consistent with the operation;
5) types of navigation sensors (e.g., GNSS, DME, IRU) used by the RNAV system and
establishment of priorities, weighting, and consistency with associated systems;
6) turns anticipation taking into account the effects of speed and altitude;
7) interpretation of electronic displays and symbols;
8) understanding aircraft configuration and the operating conditions required to support
RNAV operations, e.g., appropriate selection of CDI scale (lateral deviation display
scale);
g) operating procedures for RNAV equipment, as applicable, including how to carry out the
following:
1) verify currency and integrity of aircraft navigation data;
2) verify the successful completion of RNAV system self-test;
3) initialize RNAV system position;
4) retrieve and fly a SID or STAR with the appropriate transition;
5) adhere to speed and altitude constraints associated with a SID or STAR;
6) select the appropriate SID or STAR for the active runway and become familiar with the
procedures to deal with a runway change;
7) perform a manual or automatic update (with take-off point shift, if applicable);
8) verify the WPTs and flight plan programming;
9) fly direct to a WPT;
10) fly a course/track to a WPT;
11) intercept a course/track;
12) fly radar vectors and return to an RNAV route from a “heading” mode;
