RNAV 5 Job Aid SRVSOPRNAV 5 JOB AIDOPERATOR APPLICATION TO CONDUCT RNAV 5 OPERATIONS1. IntroductionThis job Aid was developed by the Regional Cooperation System for Safety Oversight (SRVSOP) to provide guidance to States, operators andinspectors on the process for operators to obtain an RNAV 5 authorization.2. Purposes of this Job Aid2.1 Provide RNAV 5 reference documents for operators and inspectors.2.2 Provide a series of tables that show: the content of an application, related reference paragraphs, location in operator application whereRNAV 5 elements are addressed and columns for the inspector to comment on, and track the status of various RNAV 5 elements.3. Recommended inspector and operator actionsThe following are suggestions on how the Job Aid can be used:3.1 Inspector reviews the basic events in the RNAV 5 approval process in Part 1 with the operator in the pre-application meeting to provide anoverview of approval process events.3.2 Inspector reviews this Job Aid with the operator to establish the form and content of the operator application for RNAV 5 authority.3.3 Operator uses the Job Aid as guide to assemble documents/exhibits for its application for RNAV 5.3.4 Operator annotates Job Aid to show location of RNAV 5 program elements in the operator exhibits/documents.3.5 Operator submits Job Aid and RNAV 5 operator application (exhibits/documents) to inspector3.6 Inspector annotates Job Aid to show task or document “complete/satisfactory” or “open/further operator action required”.3.7 Inspector informs the operator as soon as possible, when further operator action is required.3.8 Operator provides inspector, when requested, with revised material.3.9 The CAA issues the operations specifications (OpSpecs) or a letter of authorization (LOA) as applicable, to operator when required tasksand documents are completed.1

Pilots of aircraft with alateral deviation display must ensure that lateraldeviation scaling is suitable for the navigationaccuracy associated with the route/procedure (e.g.full-scale deflection: ± 5 NM).All pilots are expected to maintain route centrelines,as depicted by on-board lateral deviation indicatorsand/or flight guidance, during all RNAV 5 operations,unless authorized to deviate by ATC or underemergency conditions.
