Introduction
Definition (ICAO) Area Navigation, RNAV, is a method of navigation which permits aircraft operation on any desired flight path within the coverage of the station-referenced navigation aids or within the limits of the capability of self-contained aids, or a combination of these.
RNAV requires a Flight Navigation Computer capable of the following: To Receive signals from navigational sensor(s) VOR/DME.
DME/DME INS or IRS GPS To Compute aircraft position To Determine track to next waypoint To Continuously update the situation Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
B-RNAV (Basic RNAV) permits aircraft to navigate at FL95 and above without the use of point source navigation aids. It requires aircraft conformance to a track-keeping accuracy of ± 5NM for at least 95% of flight time (RNP 5) This value includes signal error, airborne receiver error, display system error, and flight technical error. This navigation performance assumes the necessary coverage provided by satellite or ground based navigation aids is available for the intended route to be flown.
In the event of a GPS failure, the aircraft retains the capability to navigate relative to ground based navigation aids (e.g., VOR, DME, and NDB).
B-RNAV was implemented o n 23 April 1998, B-RNAV became mandatory as the primary means of navigation in all ECAC en-route airspace; VOR/DME remained available for reversionary navigation and for use on some Domestic ATS routes in the lower airspace In addition to the functions required for RNAV, B-RNAV Flight Computer must have the following functions: Continuous indication of aircraft position relative to track to be displayed to the pilot flying on a navigation display situated in his primary field of view, and, information to verify aircraft position must be displayed in the non-flying pilot's primary field of view.
Display of distance and bearing to the active (To) waypoint; Display of ground speed or time to the active (To) waypoint; Storage of waypoints; minimum of 4; and Appropriate failure indication of the RNAV system, including the sensors.

B-RNAV applies to all IFR flights operating in conformity with the ICAO procedures. In some cases B-RNAV has also been implemented on certain SIDs and STARs provided that: The B-RNAV portion of the route is above Minimum Sector Altitude/Minimum Flight Altitude/Minimum Radar Vectoring Altitude (as appropriate), has been developed in accordance with established PANS-OPS criteria for en-route operations and conforms to B RNAV en-route design principles. The initial portion of departure procedures is non-RNAV up to a conventional fix beyond which the B-RNAV procedure is provided in accordance with the criteria given above. The B-RNAV portion of an arrival route terminates at a conventional fix in accordance with the criteria given above and the arrival is completed by an alternative final approach procedure, also appropriately approved. The specific procedures for B-RNAV operations are incorporated in ICAO Doc 7030/4 Ed. 1997 P-RNAV, Precision Area Navigation, is a further development of Basic Area Navigation (B-RNAV). It is being implemented in Terminal airspace as an interim step to obtain the increased operating capability and environmental benefits arising from route flexibility. The lateral track keeping accuracy of the on-board P-RANV system shall be equal to or better than +/ 1 NM for 95% of the flight time.
P-RNAV procedures applies to operations including departures, arrivals, and approaches up to the point of the Final Approach Waypoint (FAWP).

RNP as defined in ICAO doc 9613 : A statement of the navigation performance accuracy necessary for operation within a defined airspace.
RNP as defined in ICAO doc 9650 : A statement of the navigation performance accuracy, integrity, continuity and availability necessary for operation within a defined airspace.
RNP from an airborne point of view is defined by the RNP-(x)-RNAV concept described in document ED 75() or DO 236(). These system fully support definition of ICAO doc 9650 (accuracy, integrity and continuity).
RNP-(x)-RNAV airborne system: RNP Accuracy is defined as the total system error (x) 95% of the flying time. (x) is the RNP value.
Containment integrity: Probability that the total system error exceeds the specified containment limit without annunciation. Shall be less than 10-5 per flight hour (99.999%). Containment limit is twice the RNP value (x).
Containment continuity : Probability of annunciated loss of RNP RNAV capability shall be less than 10-4 per flight hour (99.99%).

RNAV Approach introduction NPAs known as dive and drive approaches, contributed a great deal to CFITs, which pushed the regulators and the industry to find a solution.
The solution was to merge Lateral RNP with Vertical Capabilities; known as Baro VNAV, into one concept, where the aircraft would be guided Laterally using its natural RNP Lateral Guidance mode, and Vertically on a “Virtual Glide Slope” referenced as VPA Vertical Path Angle, known in the flight deck as the Flight Path Angle, the FPA.
The First NPA where simply an Overlay of existing procedures, such as VOR, NDB, etc. Flown by the FMS using ARINC 424 legs, at a later stage when legislators, airframers, and operators gained experience, and confidence, the industry pushed for the usage of GPS technology, which would enable to fly a procedure without any ground station.
Classified as RNAV RNP and RNAV GPS, these procedures have their own design criteria, but present a better level of safety than conventional NPAs., due to the fact that the Azimuth is always aligned with the runway, not subject to scalloping, bending and or interference, with a FPA for the vertical guidance.

RNAV Approach introduction However, Barometric altimeters are calibrated to indicate true altitude only under International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions of temperature and sea level pressure. In cases where the temperature is higher than ISA, the true altitude will be higher than the altitude indicated by the altimeter. Conversely, when the temperature is lower than ISA, the true altitude will be lower than indicated.
Consequently the vertical paths would only be at the published procedure altitudes when ISA conditions exist. In below ISA conditions, the constant angle vertical path would be at a shallower angle than for ISA conditions. Likewise the vertical profile defined by the waypoint altitudes would also be lower. In such cases expected terrain and obstacle clearance during approaches would not be maintained if the aircraft were flown at minimum IFR altitudes, nor would pilots be made aware of this condition. Clearly there is a safety consideration to be addressed for FMS baro VNAV terrain and obstacle clearance margin.
One solution was to introduce a temperature compensation within the FMS functions, and the other is to limit the VNAV Baro to a published temperature beyond which the vertical portion of the procedure SHALL NOT be FLOWN.

General
The A320/A330/A340 Family FMGS is designed to use the following two Non-Precision Approach strategies: Approach NAV Strategy for RNAV RNP, RNAV GPS Approach NAV Strategy for VOR, VOR/DME. NDB, NDB/DME, LOCATOR, LOCATOR DME.
Both strategies have the following features in common: Each specific approach is contained in the FMS database.
Each approach is flown using the TRACK / FPA mode on final.
Each approach is flown using a constant angle descent from the FAF to The MDA. The FMS database provides the course and Flight Path Angle/glide path guidance in an ARINC 424 format, please note that the FMS is not using any ground signal for tracking. Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
RNAV Approach can be performed in FINAL APP mode provided that: The FMS is in DUAL MODE
The GPS in PRIMARY or ACCURACY is HIGH
The Approach is stored in the navigation database.
The Final Approach (FAF to runway or MAP) as extracted from the database and inserted in the primary F-PLN including altitude constraints, is not revised (modified) by the crew Before starting the Approach, the crew must check the lateral flight plan against the published approach chart using the MCDU and ND (In PLAN mode) The approach trajectory is laterally and vertically intercepted, before the FAF, or equivalent waypoint in the FM F-PLN, so that the aircraft is correctly established on the final approach course before starting the descent.
The final approach is laterally and vertically monitored, using the VDEV and appropriate raw data (distance to the runway, altitude, FPV)

Preflight: RNAV Approach with GPS PRIMARY:
Unless an instrument approach procedure not requiring GPS PRIMARY, is available at the destination or destination alternate (and at required takeoff alternate, and enroute alternate) the GPS PRIMARY availability must be verified before the flight.
GPS PRIMARY availability is reflected on RAIM availability. RAIM availability must be checked using RAIM holes charts provided in the PREDICTIVE GPS MCDU Page
GPS PRIMARY availability using RAIM HOLES Chart:
Our A/Cs are Baro Aided, which means that the system is using the aircraft altitude in order to determine the distance from earth, which is used as a sixths satellite.
On the chart above, we can see that in our case RAIM is Available, therefore GPS can be used as the PRIMARY mean of navigation Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
GPS PRIMARY availability using PREDICTIVE GPS MCDU Page : Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring RAIM, is a software hosted by the GPS receiver,
RAIM
is capable of detecting and excluding a faulty satellite from the solution, enabling the receiver to reliably calculate position and altitude.
RAIM
computes a pseudo theoretical position and compares it with the GPS position, if there is a difference then
RAIM
re-computes another pseudo, excluding the satellites one by one until the pseudo position is equal to the GPS position.

RNAV RNP Approach Temperature Effect
One of the major disadvantages of the Baro VNAV functionality is that the system that derives the vertical path angle on an approach does not accommodate the effects of altimeter source temperatures on the vertical path.
FMS (REV2+) installed on our fleets have a barometric VNAV approach capability, but do not include a temperature compensation function; therefore a temperature limitation shall be reflected on the Approach chart.
Trans Level: FL 150 Trans alt: 13000' 2. Baro-VNAV not authorized below -17° C
Temperature Check:
If such temperature limitation is not provided on the Approach plate then, use the Delta ISA at destination, derived from the Forecasted Temperature at destination.
Delta ISA -24º C is the Maximum allowed temperature deviation.
The table below illustrates the temperature effect on the VPA.

RNAV RNP Approach FMS Legs /The Transitions
The FMS Basis Elements: The transitions In order to connect legs to one another, the FM generates computed flight paths known as transitions They are generally made of three small segments, such as a straight line followed by one turn, followed by a straight line, Or a turn followed by a straight line, followed by a turn.
Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
RNAV RNP Approach FMS Legs THE FLY-BY
The FMS Basis Elements: The transitions
There are three types of transitions, and they are known as FLY BY, FLY OVER, BY-PASS The FLY-BY
The Fly-By is the most common transition, itis built in such a way that the aircraft will start turning at a computed distance before the overhead, and roll out precisely aligned with the outbound track of the next leg Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
RNAV RNP Approach FMS Legs The Fly-Over
The Fly-Over
The transition is built in such a way that the Aircraft will FLY OVER Δ the Fix (the waypoint) then join the next leg.
Normally used for the FAF, and the MAP, fly over can also be generated to protect noise sensitive areas.
The FM does have a function Δ enabling the crew to create a Fly Over, and/or to delete a Fly over, without affecting the constraints of the concerned waypoint.
Please note that even if the FLY OVER Δ IS NOT DISPLAYED on the FAF or MAP on the MCDU, it is still coded as such and there is no need to modify the transition.
Royal Jordanian Crew Training Department
RNAV RNP Approach FMS Legs The By-Pass
The By-Pass
If, due to the geometry of the waypoints, the FM cannot compute a transition, then it elaborates a By-pass using predicted A/C performances data, and uses it as a transition.
The Bypass will be as close as possible to the Bypassed waypoints.
Please note that FAF and MAP cannot have a By-Pass transition.

RNAV RNP Approach FMS Legs PI Leg
The PI leg has a lateral floating sector prior to intercepting the CF leading to the FAF, furthermore, PI leg dimension is proportional to the aircraft speed, therefore it is important to configure correctly the aircraft, prior to and during the PI leg transition.
