The new RNAV approach at Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska, is practically useless because terrain constraints for its Missed Approach Procedure (MAP) mandate an excessively high Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) ...

Austrian conducted an RNP RNAV approach – the first in Europe – to Innsbruck’s runway 26 in June. “This [new approach procedure] enables substantially improved and safer course guidance, especially in ...

Honeywell has received FAA approval for a new RNAV (RNP) approach to Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (KASE) Runway 15, promising safer and more predictable access to the challenging mountain airfield. The ...

The RNAV Y and Z approaches to Inyokern (KIYK) Runway 02 demonstrate that seemingly similar procedures can have critical differences, such as the Z approach having lower minimums but being subject to ...

FAA is on track to meet its early goals for introducing more approach and departure routes based on required navigation performance (RNP) and area navigation (RNAV), agency Associate Administrator for ...

Flying an RNAV approach means trusting instruments more than your eyes. The pilot follows precise guidance while managing speed, altitude, and communication at the same time. Every step must happen ...

Misinterpretations of standard ATC phraseology regarding approach clearances and flight paths frequently lead to dangerous pilot deviations, including incorrect lateral navigation or altitude changes.
