| CAPACITY Fill Airplanes and Maximize Airspace By carefully engineering flight paths to avoid obstacles aircraft can utilize their full payload potential. Thousands of flights and years of data show that RNP operations produce extremely consistent flight tracks. This precision combined with RNP crew alerting features gives confidence to reduce aircraft separation standards, thereby increasing the capacity of busy terminal environments around the world.
Increased Payload Limits: RNP operations can raise payload limits—meaning more fuel, freight or passengers—by avoiding paths with onerous climb requirements.
Assured Separation Equals Airspace Efficiency: Traditional navigation procedures and radar vectoring require large distances between aircraft in terminal environments. By utilizing RNP technology, which offers precision measured in meters, the airspace in busy metropolitan areas can be much more efficiently utilized. | |
