Autothrottles are not required for RNP? Really?
What are the differences between RNP and VNAV/LNAV approaches?
Also, does this mean that the -300's will be retrofitted to glass or can you fly RNP on steam? What is involved in the retrofit?
Really. RNP is essentially GPS-based vertical and lateral guidance. It will not be restricted to a lengthy straight-in approach. An ILS can be flown with or without A/Ts and the same is true for RNP. Cat II approaches can be A/P or hand-flown with HGS. I do not know if any current RNP operator is doing it without A/T.
Autothrottles are still to be evaluateed.
