8 Flight crew knowledge and training
       An RF path terminator operation may only be commenced if each member of the flight crew has knowledge of, and approved training in, how to safely conduct an RF path terminator operation, with particular reference to the following:
(a) the meaning and proper use of RF 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 RF Legs 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 RF Leg;
(f) the effect of ground speed on compliance with RF paths 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 RF Leg training is already an integrated element of a training program. However, it should be possible to identify what aspects of RF Leg use are covered within a training program. Private operators should be familiar with the practices and procedures identified in CAO 20.91, section 17.

Appendix 11 — Requirements for Fixed Radius Transitions (FRTs)

1 FRT navigation authorisation for I.F.R. flights
       1.1The FRT provides the functionality for aircraft to fly a defined radius transition path when separation between parallel routes is required and the fly-by transition is not compatible with separation criteria.
Note   FRT is likely to be a requirement for operation in European airspace from 2018.
       1.2FRT may only be used in conjunction with the RNP 4, RNP 2 and Advanced RNP navigation specifications.
       1.3FRT may only be used for PBN by an aircraft if the operator has an FRT navigation authorisation in writing from CASA unless subsection 9, 10 or 11 are applicable.

2 Requirements for FRTs
       2.1An FRT navigation authorisation may only be issued to an operator who:
(a) holds an RNP 2 or A-RNP navigation authorisation; and
(b) complies with subclause 2.2 and the other requirements of this Appendix.
       2.2For paragraph 2.1 (b) of this Appendix, an FRT navigation authorisation may only be issued to an operator who:
(a) applies in writing to CASA for it;
