Goa Airport on Monday successfully completed RNP (Required Navigation Performance) procedure for both approaches – 10 and 28 – of the newly built runway at the upcoming New Goa International Airport.
An Airbus 320 aircraft from Indigo Airlines equipped with RNP equipment tested and validated RNP for its accuracy and flyability.
According to a senior GMR Goa International Airport Limited (GGIAL) official, RNP is a family of navigation specifications under Performance Based Navigation (PBN) which permit the operation of aircraft along a precise flight path with a high level of accuracy and the ability to determine aircraft position with both precision and integrity. The addition of an RNP radius to fix arrivals, approaches, and departures increases airspace capacity by shortening the approach and departure paths.
