RNP 1;
(b) whether the aircraft can be operated in accordance with the RNP 1 requirements for:
 (i) the planned route, including the route to any alternate aerodromes; and
 (ii) minimum equipment requirements for the flight;
(c) whether the navigation database is current and appropriate for the region of operation and includes the navaids and waypoints required for the route;
(d) whether operating restrictions, including time limits, apply to the operation.
       6.2 If the aircraft's essential RNP 1 equipment is functioning properly, the PBN capability of the aircraft must be indicated in the flight plan.

7 Operating standards – flight procedures – general
       7.1 An RNP 1 operation must comply with the instructions and procedures of the OEM in relation to the performance requirements of RNP 1.
       7.2 At system initialisation, the following must occur:
(a) confirmation that the navigation database is current;
(b) verification of proper entry of the ATC-assigned route immediately after initial clearance from ATC to conduct the relevant RNAV route;
(c) action to ensure the waypoints sequence, depicted by the navigation system, matches the route depicted on the appropriate charts and the assigned route.
       7.3 The following steps must occur:
(a) selection of an RNP 1 SID or STAR by route name from the on‑board navigation database;
(b) confirmation that the selected route conforms to the charted route or the route as modified through the insertion or deletion of specific waypoints in response to ATC clearances.
       7.4 The following must not occur:
(a) creation of new waypoints by manual entry; or
(b) making manual entry of latitude, longitude or rho/theta values; or
(c) changing an RNAV SID or STAR database waypoint type from a fly-by to a flyover or vice versa.
       7.5 The following checks and cross-checks must be made:
(a) a cross-check of the flight plan by comparing charts or other applicable resources with the navigation system flight plan and the aircraft map display (if applicable);
(b) if required, confirm the exclusion of specific navaids.
Note   Small differences between charted navigation information and displayed navigation data may be noted. Differences of 3 degrees or less due to the equipment manufacturer's application of magnetic variation or leg track averaging are operationally acceptable.
       7.6 For RNP 1 routes, a lateral deviation indicator, flight director or autopilot in LNAV mode must be used.
Note   Examples of a lateral deviation indicator include CDI and HSI.
       7.7 Where a lateral deviation indicator is used, scaling must be selected suitable for the navigation accuracy associated with the route or procedure, for example, full scale deflection ±1 NM.
       7.8 Route centrelines must be maintained as close as practicable, as depicted by lateral deviation indicators or flight guidance, unless authorised to deviate by
