Honeywell Aerospace expands validation of non-U.S. RNP AR procedures
Honeywell Aerospace now validates more non‑U.S. RNP AR approaches, improving global navigation accuracy and supporting operators with expanded database updates.
Key takeaways
- How FAA Notice 8900.740 changes the review and approval process for foreign RNP AR procedures and what that means for operators.
- Which non U.S. RNP AR approaches Honeywell Aerospace has newly validated and added to its RNP AR navigation databases.
- How operators can request additional RNP AR approach validations to support their mission and operational needs.
Honeywell Aerospace offers RNP AR procedures as an option in navigation databases for qualified aircraft. This subscription includes Honeywell Aerospace's validation, which is FAA approved.
For operators, this expands access to validated high-precision approaches in key international locations, helping support operational flexibility and consistency across global fleets.
Honeywell Aerospace was approved to validate both U.S. RNP AR and non-U.S. RNP AR procedures listed in the FAA’s Foreign Procedures Approved for RNP AR Operations list, found in Foreign Procedures Approved for RNP AR Operations Master List | Federal Aviation Administration.
What has changed
The FAA issued Notice 8900.740 on June 4, 2025, discontinuing its review and approval process for foreign Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Authorization Required (AR) procedures (OpSpec C384 Table 2). This change now allows Honeywell Aerospace to include foreign (non-U.S.) RNP AR procedures that do not currently appear on the FAA Foreign Procedures Approved for RNP AR Operations list. For more details, see FAA’s Guidance for Foreign State Instrument Flight Procedure and Airport Review.
As a result, Honeywell Aerospace has started validating additional non-U.S. RNP AR approaches for inclusion in RNP AR navigationdatabases, provided that the relevant country AIP data is accessible and validation is successful. The initial approaches that are validated and added to the databases include:
| ESSA | RW01R | RNAV-X | ENGM | RW19R | RNAV-E | |
| ENGM | RW01L | RNAV-E | ENGM | RW19R | RNAV-N | |
| ENGM | RW01L | RNAV-O | ENGM | RW19R | RNAV-W | |
| ENGM | RW01L | RNAV-S | LOWI | RW08 | RNAV-Z | |
| ENGM | RW01L | RNAV-W | LOWI | RW26 | RNAV-Z | |
| ENGM | RW01R | RNAV-E | LPMA | RW05 | RNAV-Y | |
| ENGM | RW01R | RNAV-O | LPMA | RW05 | RNAV-Z | |
| ENGM | RW01R | RNAV-S | LPMA | RW23 | RNAV | |
| ENGM | RW01R | RNAV-W | LFLB | RW18 | RNAV-Y | |
| ENGM | RW19L | RNAV-E | MSLP | RW25 | RNAV-W | |
| ENGM | RW19L | RNAV-N | MSLP | RW25 | RNAV-Z | |
| ENGM | RW19L | RNAV-W | SBKP | RW33 | RNAV-W |
We will prioritize validation of other non-U.S. RNP AR approaches that are critical to your operations. Please send requests to FTS@honeywellaerospace.us with the relevant approach details (airport and approach identifier). Note that if validation is successful, it may take multiple database cycles before the approach is available, due to anticipated high demand.
