RNP AR Operations: Performance Insights

This document discusses aircraft performance considerations for RNP AR departures. It notes that RNP AR SIDs use an obstacle clearance corridor 2x the RNP width on either side. It also mentions that an RNP AR departure may account for different obstacles than a conventional SID and may define an engine-out SID with a diversion point to separate the SID from the engine-out procedure. The vertical profile may require specific acceleration and clean-up altitudes for single-engine and all-engine operations.

RNP AR SIDs use an obstacle clearance corridor, 2 x RNP on either side.
The resulting performance calculation may differ from the conventional SID.

RNP AR departures 2/8
• An RNP AR departure might take into account different obstacles
compared to conventional SID.
• An Engine Out SID (EOSID) maybe defined.
• For an EOSID a “Diversion Point” should be defined to separate
the SID and EOSID.
• The Vertical profile may require specific acceleration and clean-
up altitudes for all engine and/or one-engine-out operations.

Up to the final take off segment, the net flight path must clear all
obstacles by the defined minimum obstacle clearance margin. The
acceleration altitude may be specified for optimizing performance.

These obstacles were NOT taken


into account in the take-off
performance computation as they
are not part of SID.

If an engine failure occurs before the


DP, the EOSID must be followed.
