Air China Gets Approval for Airbus RNP Operations Air China received approval to conduct RNP (required navigation performance) operations with its A319s, and flew its first RNP departure from Lhasa, China, on August 23, marking the first time an Airbus aircraft has used RNP in revenue service. The airline worked with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Airbus and Naverus in achieving this milestone. While allowing flights into terrain-challenged airport's that are otherwise prohibited during periods of restricted visibility, RNP can reduce fuel burn on virtually all departures and arrivals at any airport by ensuring that aircraft equipped with its capability consistently fly pre-programmed paths with precision. 08-24-2007. |
