With airports and airways already experiencing congested conditions, and the demand for passenger and cargo transport expected to grow for the foreseeable future, a number of strategies have been developed to plan for increased safety, access, efficiency, and capacity at our nation's airports and around the world. One such strategy is the use of RNP (Required Navigation Performance) which is supported by the FAA and its Roadmap for Performance-Based Navigation. With the ability to follow a GPS-based route and use narrow, constant-width RNP containments, approaches and departures can follow precise, curvilinear paths to avoid difficult terrain and complex airspace. Airspace efficiency is improved, safety is enhanced, and airport capacity is increased by the implementation of procedures that use the technology already onboard most new aircraft. This paper details the benefits of RNP, describes the current process of change, provides a case study of RNP benefits, and looks into the future.
