NEW DELHI: The Directorate Normal of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday efficiently performed a validation flight of the RNP-AR process at Kathmandu Airport.
“A profitable conduct of VNKT RNP Z RWY 02 (AR) flight by IndiGo on Airbus A320 plane (VT-ISQ) at Kathmandu was executed making it the primary validation flight performed by the regulator DGCA of RNP AR process.Indigo efficiently performed its first flight utilising the required navigation efficiency with authorisation required (RNP AR) method on an A 320 plane (on Aug 4). An all-women Inspectors group from DGCA and Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal have been on board to supervise the validation flight,” the DGAC mentioned in a press release.
“The important thing advantages emanating from the profitable validation of this RNP-AR process would come with: elevated security in complicated environments; enhanced operational effectivity; decrease gas burn and diminished carbon footprint and monetary financial savings via minimised crew and flight time losses. This achievement is the results of a collaborative effort between the regulator DGCA and the airline, paving the best way for different operators to hunt qualification and approval via the established course of. This approval underlines DGCA’s dedication to advancing aviation security requirements and operational excellence, making certain safer and extra environment friendly flights at one of many world’s most demanding crucial airports,” the assertion added.
The RNP AR method affords a number of benefits, together with enhanced security via larger precision accuracy and extra stabilised method. It reduces operational inefficiencies, reminiscent of the necessity for a number of step-downs in non-precision approaches, and lowers the touchdown minima. Pilots should bear specialised simulator coaching to function and conduct RNP AR approaches, and the plane should be correctly outfitted and able to executing this superior method.
