Before an RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 operation commences, consideration must be given to matters that may affect the safety of the RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 operation, including the following:
(a) whether the aircraft and the flight crew have relevant authorisations for RNAV 1 and RNAV 2;
(b) whether the aircraft can be operated in accordance with the RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 requirements for:
 (i) the planned route, including the route to any alternate aerodromes; and
 (ii) minimum equipment requirements for the flight;
(c) whether the navaids (if any) required for the planned route are available and adequate for the period of the operation, including any non-RNAV contingencies;
(d) whether the navigation database is current and appropriate for the region of operation and includes the navaids and waypoints required for the route;
(e) for navigation relying on DME — whether operating procedures properly require the pilot in command:
           (i) to check NOTAMs to verify the condition of critical DMEs; and
           (ii) to consider his or her capability to navigate (including to an alternate destination) in the case of a failure of a critical DME while airborne;
(f) whether operating restrictions, including time limits, apply to the operation.
       6.2 If the aircraft's essential RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 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 RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 operation must comply with the instructions and procedures of the OEM in relation to the performance requirements of RNAV 1 and RNAV 2.
       7.2 At system initialisation, the following must occur:
(a) confirmation that the navigation database is current;
(b) verification that the aircraft position has been entered correctly;
(c) verification of proper entry of the ATC-assigned route immediately after initial clearance from ATC to conduct the relevant RNAV route;
(d) 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 RNAV 1 or RNAV 2 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 Except in response to ATC clearances, 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.
Note   Wherever possible, the pilot in command should extract
