Everyone loves an aviation acronym, don’t they? So this post is about an acronym that causes a lot of confusion. Is an RNP-AR the same as an RNAV, and what if you add GNSS on the end?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is also about CYYZ\/Toronto Pearson<\/strong> airport because they have just implemented the ‘biggest’ deployment of ICAO E0R standard<\/strong> at any major international airport in the world.<\/p>\n

OK, so what\u00a0exactly\u00a0<\/em>have they done?<\/h4>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard the term EoR before, then it just means \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Established on RNP-AR\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>and means they can use reduced separation standards.<\/p>\n

So in simple terms, they’ve started using RNP-AR approaches. Which is great\u00a0because reduced separation standards<\/strong> means reduced track miles for you, which means reduced fuel costs and time and all that joylessness at the end of a long and tiring flight.<\/p>\n

So,<\/strong> RNP-AR approaches are way better.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nav Canada says this – \u201cThe EoR separation standard allows aircraft to be considered established on final as soon as they’re on the RNP-AR procedure, which is now in use for both ends of Toronto Pearson\u2019s north runway (05-23). As a result, some aircraft approaching from the south will have the opportunity to fly up to 1,000 feet higher when aircraft to the north are established on an RNP-AR procedure, thereby providing aircraft with the opportunity to reduce their noise over communities located south and downwind of the airport.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And here’s a little video<\/a> to learn even more about the project.<\/p>\n

But before you disappear, here are some of Toronto\u2019s charts and a little discussion on these approaches in case you\u2019re seeing them for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

Because a lot of folk find the RNP, RNAV, RNAV RNP, RNAV GNSS, RNP AR terminology just a little confusing (it is!), here is a link to a post<\/a> talking all about it.<\/p>\n
