RNP Approaches
I'm sure everyone flying the 175 has seen the FMS go goofy and fail to sequence the next waypoint. Typically it's no big deal. I had it happen when the FAA was in the cockpit and it didn't cause any trouble. I'm just curious if anyone has had this happen during a visual approach following the RNP approach. It seems like it could be a problem if the airplane is trying to snake its way through terrain and make a turn on a relatively short turn to final in actual IMC conditions.

It’s been a while (at least 6 months) since I’ve seen any 27.1 hiccups like we used to before. And the amount of complaints on our pilots FB and GroupMe page have also shown that. 27.2 will come and bring more challenges for sure. RNPs shouldn’t be any different, we’re all supposed to know what to do if it fails
