Jeppesen and Honeywell Jointly Demonstrate RNP for Business Aircraft
Jeppesen and Honeywell carried out a pilot RNP (required navigation performance) program at Morristown, New
Jersey to gain further experience with RNP procedures and demonstrate their
capabilities, particularly for business aircraft.
Both companies have made moves to enter the RNP technology market, which is rapidly gaining prominence as a way
to significantly increase efficiency for operators and capacity for ANSPs (air
navigation service providers).
Jeppesen
recently announced that it would participate in an FAA pilot program that
allows third-party vendors to develop RNP procedures in the U.S., and
Honeywell
said it will help business jet operators utilize RNP procedures by validating
databases and offering consulting services. 09-29-2007. |
