civil aircraft, and flight crew, seeking authorisation to undertake RNP 10 operations.

     3.1.2.2 Australian registered aircraft, when operating outside Australian territorial airspace (i.e. beyond the 12 NM territorial limit) must comply with:

(a) when over the high seas — ICAO Annex 2; and

(b) when operating within another State's airspace — the applicable regulations of that State.

3.1.3 Approval to undertake RNP 10 operations

       3.1.3.1Under CASR Division 91.U.4, CASA may grant an approval in the form of an RNP 10 operational authorisation to an operator to undertake RNP 10 operations.

Section 3.2 Operational authorisation process

3.2.1 General

       3.2.1.1Under CASR 91.5155 (3), 91.5160 and 91.5170, the steps that must be completed before an operational authorisation is issued to an operator are:

(a) CASA reviews the existing certification of the aircraft navigation equipment and makes a determination that it is eligible for RNP 10 operational authorisation;

(b) the operator identifies the flight crew training and operating procedures for the navigation systems to be used for RNP 10 operations;

(c) CASA evaluates the operator's database use, flight crew training and operating procedures.

3.2.2 Contents of an operator's RNP 10 application

       3.2.2.1Under CASR 91.5155 (3) and for CASR 91.5010, an application for RNP 10 operational authorisation must include the following information:

(a) aircraft airworthiness eligibility documents (eg AFM, AFM supplement) that establish that the aircraft is equipped with Long Range Navigation Systems (LRNSs) that meet the requirements of RNP 10;

(b) a description of aircraft equipment, including a configuration list that details components and equipment to be used for long-range navigation for the RNP 10 operations;

(c) a statement of the RNP 10 time limit for Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) or Inertial Reference Units (IRU) (if applicable) that has taken into account the effect of headwinds in the areas where RNP 10 operations will be conducted (see section 3.8) to determine the feasibility of the proposed operation;

      Note   For an aircraft that is not capable of autopilot or flight director coupling, the FTE value to be taken into account in determining any limitations for oceanic or remote area operations is 2 NM — see 3.3.2.2.

(d) a description of operational training programs and operating practices and procedures, including:

 (i) for an AOC holder — training syllabi, an example of 1 training program to show that the operational practices and procedures and training items related to RNP 10 operations mentioned in section 3.10 are incorporated in the relevant training programs (eg initial, upgrade, recurrent); and

 (ii) for a private operator — evidence that the operator will operate using the practices and procedures mentioned in section 3.10;

(e) operations manuals and checklists that:

 (i) for an AOC holder — shows any revisions made to the manuals
