You are correct - the technical pilot group at AS essentially created the RNP RNAV approach concept. One of the main guys there was Steve Fulton, who later left his pilot job at AS and became a co-founder of the company Naverus that now develops RNP procedures for a number of airlines and airports around the world.Originally Posted by aviatorhi
I believe Alaska was instrumental in pioneering the technology back in the 90s when they wanted to have approaches with lower minimums into places like Juneau and Sitka.
When it comes to RNP, these guys at AS literally wrote the book on it.
