       1.4 An RNP AR navigation authorisation may not be issued unless the aircraft meets the requirements of this Appendix.
       1.5 RNP AR procedures may be designed to either ICAO Doc. 9905 criteria or to proprietary standards. Proprietary RNP AR designs use different terminology for some points in the procedure compared to the Doc. 9905 designs; the paragraphs below explain the terms used.
(a) Final Approach Point (FAP) is the point in the procedure from which the vertical path is coded into the procedure. This point must be a named waypoint and is often coincident with the Final Approach Fix (FAF). In proprietary procedures the point equivalent to the FAP is the Vertical Intercept Point (VIP).
(b) Non-Normal Decision Point (NNDP) is a term used in proprietary design RNP AR approach procedures and defines the point where the flight crew must determine that the aircraft is capable of carrying out the approach in its current operative system configuration. For ICAO Doc. 9905 design procedures, the equivalent point to the NNDP is the Initial Approach Fix (IAF).

2 Conditions for RNP AR operations
       2.1An RNP AR navigation authorisation may be issued subject to conditions if CASA considers this is necessary in the interests of safety.
       2.2It 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.
       2.3It 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.

3 Application — documents
       The application must be made on the approved form and be accompanied by the following documents:
(a) aircraft airworthiness documents which satisfy CASA that the aircraft is equipped for RNP AR operations, for example, the AFM, the AFMS or OEM service letters;
(b) a detailed description of relevant aircraft equipment for RNP AR operations, including a configuration list of the components and equipment;
(c) a detailed description of the proposed flight crew training for RNP AR operations, including a copy of the training syllabus, for approval by CASA;
