The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and IndiGo successfully conducted the first validation flight of the Required Navigation Performance with Authorization Required (RNP AR) procedure at Kathmandu Airport, marking a significant advancement in aviation safety and efficiency. An all-women inspection team oversaw the flight, which utilized an IndiGo A320 aircraft and involved satellite-based navigation, allowing for improved accessibility in challenging weather conditions. The RNP AR approach enhances safety through increased precision, reduces operational inefficiencies, and lowers landing minima, enabling operations even in lower visibility. Pilots must complete specialized simulator training for RNP AR, and the aircraft must be equipped for these advanced procedures, promising benefits such as reduced fuel consumption and carbon footprints. This achievement reflects the collaborative efforts of DGCA and IndiGo and sets the stage for other airlines to seek similar qualifications. The DGCA emphasized its commitment to advancing aviation safety standards, particularly at one of the world's most challenging airports.
