RNP ApproachesSAAAR Benefits
• Better access to runways with terrain/airspace conflicts
• De-conflicting traffic flows (e.g., converging runways, adjacent procedures)
• Improving safety by eliminating circling maneuvers
• Simplifying training by eliminating NPAs without sacrificing access
• To solve problems not solvable with other approach surfaces
SAAAR Features
• Reduced RNP RNP 0.3 to 0.1
• No secondary obstacle clearance areas
• Tailored & guided missed approaches
• Curved paths (RF)
• Reduced vertical obstacle surfaces (VEB)

Public RNP SAAAR
Public RNP SAAAR key attributes:– Path construction:
– RNP 0.3 approach typical, as low as RNP 0.1 – RNP 1 missed approach typical, as low as RNP 0.1 – RF path type where necessary, fixes the ground track in a turn
– Obstacle Assessment:– Lateral OCS equal to 2xRNP either side of track center– Vertical OCS a distance equal to the vertical error budget (VEB)
below descent path (aircraft specific)– Missed approach OCS from VEB value at DA rising at a slope
equal to engine out climb performance (aircraft specific)– Ability to lower DA if MA OCS clears controlling obstacle– FAS RNP carried into the MAS
Public SAAAR aims for much broader participation of RNP capable aircraft
