RNAV/RNP: More "Complex Routes" ie "RF" segments on the Approach, Tighter Performance Req. (More restrictive TERPS), No Radar Requirements, Seamless Vertical Path/Routing....RNP mins vary per Ops Certificate IE CAL .15, or SWA .30
The question was "does UA fly RNAV approaches?"....... Yes. Radar not req. GPS req. The software upgrade to fly RNP approaches (RNP in the approach title) will be installed starting in mid OCT.
