I've only started hearing of these "Required Navigation Performance" -is that right? approaches as of a few months. Seems like AK is the airline that started/pioneered it, am I right in saying that? What exactly is a RNP approach and are there actual approach plates for it? Of what I've read its like a typical RNAV/GPS approach with both LNAV and VNAV functions? Do you need FMS for it? What about INS/IRS? Is it like a WAAS kinda idea? Anyhow seems pretty interesting, any enlightenment, I'm asking becuase it seems like a good ground discussion for my instrument students.
I hear that the approach into Juneau is a RDP as they have no radar there.
Thanks in advance.
