using a 3-digit numeric value for the radius of turn (to 1 decimal place) in nautical miles e.g. 15.0, 22.5. The navigation database will specify the radius associated with a particular waypoint along an airway.

7 Operating standards
       7.1The standards for the conduct of FRT operations are as follows:
(a) FRT operations must be conducted in association with RNP 4, RNP 2 or Advanced RNP operations;
(b) when the intended route includes flying an RNP route with an FRT, the RNP system must be operational on despatch and autopilot/flight director should be operational;
(c) the route must be retrieved from the aircraft navigation database and conform to the charted procedure;
(d) the lateral path must not be modified except when complying with ATC clearances/instructions;
(e) the pilot should use either a flight director or autopilot and must comply with any instructions or procedures identified by the manufacturer as necessary to comply with the performance requirements in this Appendix.
       7.2Route centrelines must be maintained as close as practicable unless authorised to deviate by ATC or under emergency conditions. NSE + FTE (lateral deviation) must not exceed the specified navigation accuracy.

8 Flight crew knowledge and training
       An FRT operation may only be commenced if each member of the flight crew has knowledge of, and approved training in, how to safely conduct an FRT operation, with particular reference to the following:
(a) the meaning and proper use of FRT functionality in RNP systems;
(b) associated procedure characteristics as determined from chart depiction and textual description;
(c) associated levels of automation, mode annunciations, changes, alerts, interactions, reversions, and degradation;
(d) monitoring track-keeping performance;
Note   Manually selecting aircraft bank limiting functions may reduce the aircraft's ability to maintain its desired track and are not permitted. Pilots should recognise that manually selectable aircraft bank-limiting functions may reduce their ability to satisfy ATC path expectations, especially when executing large angle turns.
(e) the effect of wind on aircraft performance during execution of FRT and the need to remain within the RNP containment area. The training program should address any operational wind limitations and aircraft configurations essential to safely complete the FRT;
(f) the effect of ground speed on compliance with FRT and bank angle restrictions impacting the ability to remain on the course centreline;
(g) interpretation of electronic displays and symbols;
(h) contingency procedures.
Note   It is not required to establish a separate training program or regime if RNP and FRT training is already an integrated element of a training program. However, it should be possible to identify what aspects of FRT use are covered within a training program.
