SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

E:\FR\FM\24NON1.SGM
24NON1
67952
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 226 / Friday, November 24, 2006 / Notices
that it is seeking to identify qualified
industry consultants to assist 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91, 121,
125, 129, 135 applicants as they pursue
approval to conduct ‘‘Required
Navigation Performance Special Aircraft
and Aircrew Authorization Required’’
(RNP SAAAR) approaches. Provisions
for gaining those approvals are
contained within FAA Advisory
Circular 90–101, ‘‘Approval Guidance
for RNP Procedures with SAAAR.’’
Applicants who meet certain
qualifications will be permitted to enter
into an agreement with the FAA to be
listed as RNP SAAAR Approval
Consultants.
Formal letter of application must
be received on or before December 31,
2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Vincent Chirasello, Federal Aviation
Administration, AFS–400 Flight
Technologies and Procedures Division,
470 L’Enfant Plaza, Suite 4102,
Washington, DC 20024, (202) 385–4586.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RNP
SAAAR procedures provide an
opportunity to improve safety,
efficiency and capacity. Safety is
improved when RNP approaches
replace visual or non-precision
approaches, and efficiency is improved
through more repeatable and optimum
flight paths. Capacity can be improved
by de-conflicting traffic during
instrument conditions. RNP SAAAR
procedures provide an unprecedented
flexibility in construction of approach
procedures. RNP SAAAR procedures
build upon the performance based
National Airspace System (NAS)
concept. The performance requirements
to conduct an approach are defined, and
aircraft are qualified against these
performance requirements. RNP
approaches include unique
characteristics that require special
aircraft and aircrew capabilities and
authorization similar to Category (CAT)
II/III ILS operations.
The AC 90–101 RNP SAAAR approval
process is complex and the success of
the process depends on the quality of
the application. Although the FAA is
committed to providing approval
services, a reduced budget and increase
in attrition leaves fewer resources
available to assist new entrants in the
approval process. In an effort to address
this new RNP SAAAR entrant need, the
FAA will develop and maintain a list of
qualified AC 90–101 RNP SAAAR
Approval Consultants to assist in the
approval process. This process will
benefit the general public by helping
expedite new entrant applications.
