has been retrofitted in order to meet the requirements for RNP 4, by the granting of an appropriate supplemental type certificate.

       4.2.2.3For CASR 91.5010, authorisation may be given only for aircraft for which the certification of RNP 4 navigation capability (see section 4.3) is based on the use of GNSS or equivalent systems as stand-alone navigation systems or as 1 of the navigation inputs to a multi-sensor system.

       4.2.2.4There is no navigation time limit for RNP 4 operations.

4.2.3 Contents of application for RNP 4 operational authorisation

       4.2.3 1Under CASR 91.5155 (3) and for CASR 91.5010, an application for an RNP 4 operational authorisation must include the following information:

(a) aircraft airworthiness eligibility documents (eg the flight manual and the flight manual supplement) that establish that the aircraft is equipped with Long Range Navigation Systems (LRNSs) that meet the requirements of RNP 4;

(b) a description of aircraft equipment and components, including a configuration list that details the components and equipment that the operator will use for long-range navigation and RNP 4 operations;

        Note   The installed equipment must be identical to that certified in the flight manual and operational authorisation before entering RNP 4 airspace other than exceptions listed in the MEL for specific non-standard conditions.

(c) a description of operational training programs and operating practices and procedures that:

 (i) for an AOC holder — includes training syllabi and material to show that the operational practices and procedures and training items related to RNP 4 operations are incorporated in the relevant training programs (eg initial, upgrade, recurrent training for flight crew, dispatchers or maintenance personnel); and

            Note   The practices and procedures to be covered are detailed in section 4.5.

 (ii) for a private operator — includes evidence that the operator accepts responsibility for training flight crew and demonstrates the operator will operate using the practices and procedures identified in section 4.5;

(d) operations manuals and checklists that:

 (i) for an AOC holder — show any revisions made to the operations manual and checklists to include standard operating procedures detailed in section 4.5 and navigation system operating instructions and contingency procedures; and

 (ii) for a private operator — shows revisions to the operations manual or pilot operating handbook, as appropriate, and includes navigation operating instructions and contingency procedures;

           Note   These manuals and the aircraft navigation equipment manufacturer's checklist, as appropriate, form part of the package to be submitted as part of the application process.

(e) an operating history that addresses any events or incidents related to navigation errors for the operator (eg as reported in a CASA Navigation Error Investigation Form) that have been covered by training, procedures, maintenance or the aircraft navigation system modifications that are to be used;

(f)
