Only aircraft certified as meeting the required navigation performance capability(RNPC) are permitted to operate on published, high level fixed RNAV [area navigation] routes or receive improved ATC [air traffic control] separation minimums based on RNPC [required navigation performance capability]. Certification is dependent upon crew training and navigation equipment that permits position determination within ± 4 NM [nautical miles]. Aircraft certified for Canadian minimum navigation performance specifications(CMNPS) and North Atlantic minimum navigation performance specifications(NAT MNPS) operations are deemed to be RNPC certified. 1, record 1, English, - required%20navigation%20performance%20capability%20airspace
