depicts the computed aircraft flight path.

6 Operating standards – flight planning – general
       6.1Before an RNP 0.3 operation commences, consideration must be given to matters that may affect the safety of the operation, including the following:
(a) whether the aircraft and the flight crew have relevant authorisations for RNP 0.3;
(b) whether the aircraft can be operated in accordance with the RNP 0.3 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 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) whether operating restrictions, including time limits, apply to the operation.
       6.2If the aircraft's essential RNP 0.3 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 0.3 operation must comply with the instructions and procedures of the OEM in relation to the performance requirements of RNP 0.3.
       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 RNP 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 0.3 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.
       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 0.3 routes, a lateral
