Regulation
This document addresses and defines airworthiness and operational criteria related to RNAV
systems approved for RNP APCH based on GNSS with or without vertical guidance based on
APV(*) BARO-VNAV.
Compliance with this AMC does not, by itself, constitute an operational authorisation to conduct
RNP APCH operations.
Aircraft operators should apply to their national authority.
Since this AMC has been harmonised with other RNP implementation and operational criteria
outside of Europe, i.e. USA/FAA, it is expected to facilitate interoperability and ease the effort in
obtaining operational authorisation by operators.
1 – GENERAL
The FMS Thales 220 in association with one or two GPS TOPSTAR T200NG LPV, complies with
Perfomance Based Navigation (PBN) requirements for LNAV/VNAV (and APVBaro—VNAV approach)
requirements in accordance with AMC20-27.
Single or dual GPS configuration is approved for RNAV(GNSS) LNAV/VNAV(an APV Baro-VNAV approach)
provided:
For final approach APPR annunciation is displayed in green on PFDs (HSI); also, lateral and vertical
deviations are displayed with black background.
NOTE: Pilots intending to conduct a LNAV/VNAV procedure must be on the leg at least 2Nm before FAF
otherwise the system will not switch to APPR mode (RNP and lateral deviation scale will remain at 1Nm)
Regulation
RNAV(GNSS) LNAV/VNAV approaches are performed only if a LNAV/VNAV approach procedure is available
at destination or at alternate airport.
For dualGPSconfiguration:
No crew action for RNAV(GNSS) LNAV/VNAV approaches in case of a single GPS loss.
Temperature compensation function must be activated whenever temperature at destination is outside the
published temperature range.

Vertical Navigation Introduction
VTA (Vertical Track Alert): indications flashing are a reminder for pilot to select ALT SEL correctly to fly the FMS
vertical profile. (e.g.:1 minute before reaching: TOD without lower ALT SEL selection, a STEP TO) -- available
in CRUISE
VPCA (Vertical Path Change Alert): indications flashing announce an A/C pitch change due to VNAV guidance.
( 10 seconds before any pitch change)

In descent, VDEV is the difference between the A/C altitude and the vertical

In climb, VDEV = A/C alt - TGT_ALT_level.

Filing Navigation Capability (Item 10a and item 18 PBN/)
The process to identify and file the appropriate capability and equipment indication in the FPL
have been broken into the following 5 steps:
Identify the PBN NAV spec “approvals” held for each phase of flight (from Oceanic to
Step 1
Approach)
Enter “PBN/” in Item 18 and apply the guidance to reduce the number of indicators in
Step 3
Item 18 PBN (max 8)
If more than 8 indicators remain, identify those considered least relevant to the flight and
Step 4
insert them within Item 18 under NAV/
Identify the specific NAV equipment supporting each capability and file in Item 10a
Step 5
thereby ensuring conformity with the content of Item 18 PBN

VNAV Policy
• Whenever LNAV is engaged, in all flight phases including approach and go-around, it is
recommended to use VNAV
• VNAV IAS, VNAV PATH, VNAV VS or V-FP as appropriate
• Exceptions
• LOC only approach
• When forbidden by local regulations
• If descending below Transition Level without AIRFIELD pressure
• Early descent, if descending before TOD-5 minutes
• When leaving LNAV mode, eg. Radar heading, deselect VNAV with VS in descent or IAS
in climb before selecting any other lateral mode.

Abnormal SOP
After take-off
Weather avoidance: ensure correct altitude constraint and new vertical mode
selected before selecting HDG SEL
Speed constraints: may be entered in FMS or using manual speed, VNAV IAS will
respect speed auto or manual
Altimeter setting: STD should not be set until all altitude constraints based on QNH
are passed

FMS Setting
Arrival and Approach must be extracted from database; NO WAYPOINT INSERTION
OR MODIFICATION OF LATERAL OR VERTICAL FLIGHT PLAN ALLOWED.
Heading changes
Ensure ALT SEL and vertical mode are compatible with heading changes
103
EVENTS
Abnormal SOP
Failure or loss of VNAV prior to commencing approach can result in rebrief for an
alternate procedure and LNAV/VNAV minima must not be used
Any failure which can be resolved before FAF/P, approach may be continued
104
EVENTS
Abnormal SOP
Go-around - Extraction
All other approaches = VNAV with final go-around selected in ALT SEL
If go-around due to navigation discrepancy, initially HDG SEL IAS, remain HDG SEL
and follow conventional NAVAID until discrepancy resolved. Ensure ALT SEL is in
accordance with altitude constraints
In case of autopilot or flight director loss, LDEV and VDEV or conventional NAVAID
may be followed in raw data if necessary
