AviationManuals has updated its international operations procedures service to comply with new flight planning code requirements from the FAA that address gaps in codes that are ambiguous regarding specific advanced navigation capabilities.
As an example, the additional codes allow operators to specify if an aircraft is fitted with advanced required navigation performance (RNP) and related capabilities such as radius to fix, time-of-arrival control, and RNP-2 in continental or oceanic airspace. The codes are effective immediately and required for any aircraft using these capabilities in FAA-controlled airspace.
“The regulatory and operational environment in aviation is constantly changing,” said AviationManuals CEO Mark Baier. “It is important for operators to have a clear process for continually monitoring for updates from the FAA and other sources that may affect them to ensure they do not fall behind.”
