 The new Required Navigation Performance RNP 29Z approach procedure that
5.
 overlays the Harbor Visual Approach (HVA) has been approved
 Alec Seybold, of Flight Tech Engineering, LLC, whom the NAC engaged to develop this
 procedure, will be joining the meeting via Zoom to review the procedure and answer
 questions. Here are details on the procedure: a. It is a public procedure that requires no
 special authorizations to use. b. The procedure publish date is April 16, 2026. c. Most
 PWM aircraft can fly the procedure since both RNP 0.1 and RNP 0.3 are available. CRJ
 aircraft are not able to fly this approach. From April-December 2026 CRJ aircraft will
 1
 account for 18% of PWM flights. This number is down from 19% in 2025 and will continue
 to drop. d. Unlike the HVA, the RNP 29Z approach procedure will be available at night
 and during low visibility. Visibility is down to 250' for RNP 0.1 and 500' for RNP 0.3. e.
 PWM will work with Southwest on the opportunity to cancel the RNAV visual special
 approach that flies over the north end of Peaks Island.
