for it; and
(b) supplies the documents mentioned in clause 3 of this Appendix; and
(c) satisfies CASA that RF path terminator operations can, and are likely to continue to, meet the requirements of this Appendix, including in relation to the following:
           (i) aircraft eligibility;
           (ii) RNP system equipment, system performance and system functionality;
           (iii) operating standards, including flight planning and flight procedures;
           (iv) approved flight crew training, and recency;
           (v) MEL procedures;
           (vi) aircraft and RNP system maintenance;
           (vii) validity and continuing integrity of the airborne navigation database;
           (viii) navigation error reporting procedures.
       2.3An RF path terminator navigation authorisation may not be issued unless the operator meets the requirements of this Appendix.
       2.4Despite subclauses 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of this Appendix, an RF path terminator navigation authorisation may be issued to an operator who:
(a) holds an RNP AR APCH navigation authorisation; and
(b) operates an aircraft which meets the aircraft eligibility requirements for an RNP AR APCH navigation authorisation; and
(c) applies in writing to CASA for an RF path terminator navigation authorisation.
       2.5An RF path terminator navigation authorisation may be issued, subject to conditions, if CASA considers this is necessary in the interests of safety.
       2.6It is a condition of the issue of a navigation authorisation that the applicable operational requirements of this Appendix are complied with after the issue of the authorisation.
       2.7It is a condition of the issue of a navigation authorisation that where an operational check, consideration, procedure or task (however described) is required under this Appendix, the operator must ensure that it is performed, given, followed or carried out, as the case may be.
Note   The check, consideration, procedure or task may in practice be performed by the pilot in command, other members of the flight crew, the despatch officer or other operational personnel. However, legal responsibility for compliance is placed on the operator who must ensure that the performance occurs in accordance with his or her established procedures.
       2.8The navigation system should not permit the pilot to select a procedure that is not supported by the equipment, either manually or automatically (e.g. a procedure is not supported if it incorporates an RF Leg and the equipment does not provide RF Leg capability). The navigation system should also prohibit pilot access to procedures requiring RF Leg capability if the system can select the procedure, but the aircraft is not otherwise properly equipped (e.g. the aircraft does not have the required roll steering autopilot or flight director installed).
Note 1   One acceptable means to meet these requirements is to screen the aircraft's on-board navigation database and remove any routes or procedures the aircraft is not eligible to execute. For example, if the aircraft is
