.
The effect of aircraft failures (e.g. loss of navigation capability, engine failures,…)
A minimum of one 4 hours simulator session is required. Depending of the specific characteristics of the intended operation, more training time may be necessary. During the operational evaluation, the airline with its national authorities will ensure that the level of training is in adequacy with the intended operations.
The flight crew training should highlight in particular the following topics:
.
The departure, approach and missed approach F-PLN verification,
.
The verification of the navigation system required accuracy and the availability of GPS PRIMARY,
.
The required equipment to start the approach,
.
The arming and activation of the FINAL APP mode,
.
The requirement to observe the speed constraints in RF legs, as well as the minimum airspeed to avoid any undesirable bank angle limitation in case of engine failure,
.
The monitoring of the lateral and vertical deviations and the associated callout,
.
The GA procedure and the requirement to reengage the NAV mode immediately to remain within RNP limit for the aircraft without automatic reengagement of the NAV mode,
.
The appropriate course of action following navigation system alerts
.
The use of the appropriate airspeed technique (managed versus selected speed),
.
The effect of engine failure on the lateral performance,
.
The appropriate procedure to select the EOSID FMS F-PLN prior reaching the diversion point if an EOSID different from SID is defined; The importance of this procedure step must be highlighted during the training,
.
The use of EGPWS to extract the aircraft in case of dual loss of FMGEC,
.
The procedure to recover from FMS failure such as FMS auto-reset,
7. RNP AR Operations and Training
Getting to grips with RNP AR
-50 -
. Departure and GA procedures using the L/DEV in manual flight FD OFF to address cases of FG system failures.
For demanding RNP AR operations, a line familiarization may be required before flying the procedure as a Pilot in Command. This may have to be combined with an aerodrome competence qualification as per JAR OPS 1.975.
The dispatcher training consists in a ground training segment only, which can be derived from the flight crew training with special focus on:
.
GPS availability prediction,
.
FMS Navigation Database
.
Weather minima, and wind and/or temperature limits if any,
.
Aircraft takeoff performance data if specific for a particular RNP AR operation
7.3.1 FLIGHT CREW RECURRENT TRAINING
The airline should implement an RNP recurrent training in its overall crew recurrent training program. For each recurrent training cycle, 2 RNP AR approaches must be flown by each pilot for each duty position (PF, PNF). One of these approaches must be followed by a go around and a missed approach procedure. If the airline is flying several RNP AR procedures, the recurrent training should be performed on the more demanding procedure.
