**[PBN-BASED RNP 4 JOB AID]{.underline}**

**[OPERATOR APPLICATION TO CONDUCT RNP 4 OPERATIONS IN WATRS PLUS
CTAs]{.underline}**

**[Introduction.]{.underline}** This RNP 4 Job Aid was developed by the
FAA Hq Flight Technologies & Procedures Division (AFS-400) to provide
guidance to States, operators and inspectors on the process for
operators to obtain RNP 4 authorization (approval) for operation on
WATRS Plus Control Area (CTA) oceanic routes or areas. Application of 50
NM lateral separation between aircraft authorized RNP 10 or RNP 4 is
planned to be introduced in WATRS Plus CTAs on 5 June 2008. The WATRS
Plus CTAs are: the West Atlantic Route System (WATRS), the Atlantic
portion of Miami Oceanic Airspace and the San Juan FIR. **(50 NM
separation is currently applied in the Pacific, the South Atlantic and
other global areas between aircraft authorized RNP 10 or RNP 4).**

**[Explanation of RNP 10 vs. RNP 4.]{.underline}** RNP 10 is the
[minimum]{.underline} "Navigation Specification" required for the
application of 50 NM lateral separation. **RNP 4 is an operator
option.** A separate RNP 10 Job Aid is posted on the FAA WATRS Plus
Webpage. "Navigation Specification" is a term used in the new ICAO Doc
9613 (ICAO Performance Based Navigation (PBN) Manual).

**[Important Explanatory Notes.]{.underline} See Part 1 "Notes on
Issuing Commercial Operator Operations Specifications and IGA Letters of
Authorization".**

**[Purposes of this Job Aid.]{.underline}** The Job Aid:

1\. Provides core RNP 4 reference documents for operators and
inspectors.

2\. Provides a series of tables that show: the content of an
application, related reference paragraphs, location in operator
application (documents/exhibits) where an RNP 4 element is addressed and
columns for the inspector to comment on, and track the status of various
RNP 4 program elements.

**[Recommended Inspector and Operator Actions.]{.underline}** The
following are suggestions on how the job aid can be used:

  --- ----------- --------------------------------------------------------------
      **Lead**    **Action**

  1   Inspector   Reviews the **"Basic Events in the RNP 4 Approval Process"**
                  in Part 1 with the operator in the pre-application meeting to
                  provide an overview of approval process events.

  2   Inspector   Reviews this Job Aid with the operator to establish the form
                  and content of the operator application for RNP 4 authority.

  3   Operator    Uses the Job Aid as a guide to assemble documents/exhibits for
                  its application for RNP 4.

  4   Operator    Annotates Job Aid to show location of RNP 4 program elements
                  in the operator exhibits/documents.

  5   Operator    Submits Job Aid and RNP 4 operator application
                  (exhibits/documents) to inspector.

  6   Inspector   Annotates Job Aid to show task or document
                  "complete/satisfactory" [or]{.underline} "open/further
                  operator action required".

  7   Inspector   Informs the operator as soon as possible, when further
                  operator action is required.

  8   Operator    Provides inspector, when requested, with revised material.

  9   Inspector   Issues Operations Specifications (OpSpecs) or IGA Letter of
                  Authorization (LOA), as applicable, to operator when required
                  tasks and documents are completed.

**\*Note:** the FAA RNP 4 authorization process is in accordance with
the ICAO PBN Manual. No action is required for operators and aircraft
previously approved under FAA Order 8400.33 (as amended).

**[Example FAA IGA (FAA Part 91) Letters of Authorization (LOA):
Operations Safety System (OPSS) Generated]{.underline}**

1\. OPSS LOA B036 (Operation in Required Navigation Performance
Airspace)

2\. OPSS LOA D098 (Flight in Special Areas of Operations For Short-term
Operations)

**[Example FAA Operations Specifications (OpSpecs)
Paragraphs]{.underline}**

1\. B036 (Class II Navigation Using Multiple Long-Range Navigation
Systems (LRNS))

2\. B054 (Class II Navigation Using Single Long-Range Navigation
system): effective 5 June 2008, B054 will only be applicable for WATRS
Plus operations when operating as a Non-RNP 10 aircraft. See FAA WATRS
Plus Operational Policy & Procedures Notice on WATRS Plus Webpage for
policy on operation of Non-RNP 10 aircraft after the 5 June 2008 project
implementation.

**[PART 1 (cont.)]{.underline}**

**Notes on Issuing Commercial Operator Operations Specifications
(OpSpecs) and IGA Letters of Authorization (LOA).**

1\. **[Responsible State Authority (FAA and ICAO
Guidance).]{.underline}**

a\. [International Commercial Operators:]{.underline} The **State of
Registry** makes the determination that the aircraft meets the
applicable RNP requirements. The **State of Operator** issues operating
authority (e.g., Operations Specifications (OpSpecs)).

b\. [International General Aviation (IGA) Operators:]{.underline}
**State of Registry** makes determination that aircraft meets the
applicable RNP requirements and issues operating authority (e.g., Letter
of Authorization (LOA).

2\. **[FAA Policies For Consideration]{.underline}**

a\. **[Separate IGA Area of Operation LOAs.]{.underline} IGA (FAA Part
91) operators are [not]{.underline} required to be issued LOAs for
individual areas of operations.** ICAO Annex 2, paragraph 2.3.2 and FAA
LOA B036 require the operator to be responsible for policies/procedures
applicable to individual areas of operation.

b\. An IGA (FAA Part 91) operator holding a current LOA showing RNP 4
authority does not have to re-apply for RNP 4 authority in WATRS Plus
Control Areas.

c\. **[Inspector Action for IGA (FAA Part 91) Operators.]{.underline}
FAA inspector action is to "accept" RNP 4 related operations and
airworthiness programs.** Formal "approval" is [not]{.underline}
required. (Reference FAA Order 8700.1, Chapter 3, paragraph 11).

d\. **An operator planning to obtain initial RNP 4 authority for WATRS
Plus CTAs may apply for and be issued authority based on operational
policies published and referenced in this Job Aid.**

**[Other Related ICAO Reference Documents]{.underline}**

1\. **[Explanation:]{.underline} The guidance cited below is
[not]{.underline} applicable to a specific lateral separation standard
(i.e, it is not specific to 50 nm**

**Lateral separation).** It is applicable to [general]{.underline}
oceanic operations. An operator may have previously adopted the guidance
for oceanic operations. **[If so, the operator only needs to confirm
that that is the case.]{.underline}**

2\. **[Webpage Reference:]{.underline}** see WATRS Plus Webpage, Section
2, Operating Policy: "Contingency, Weather Deviation and Strategic
Lateral

Offset Procedures".

3\. **[ICAO Doc 4444:]{.underline}** FAA guidance reflects ICAO Document
4444, section 15.2 (*Special Procedures For In-flight Contingencies In
Oceanic*
