Navigation Data General MSFS Data

Hi. There is an RNP approach for the airport SDAM in Brazil, it is in Navigraph Charts, but when flying the default MSFS 2024 Pilatus PC-24, the procedure is not available for selection.

Would you please explain why is that? Is it a MSFS issue? I might be wrong but they use your data, don’t they?

Cheers!

Hi,
Is the Pilatus PC-24 certified for RNP LNAV/VNAV approaches? If not, these approaches will be disabled.

You may try any other stock aircraft to see if this approach is included.

Cheers

Good question. I will try with other planes. Thank you!
This is what ChatGPT told me now :slight_smile:

Yes, the Pilatus PC-24 is certified for Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approaches, including those requiring Authorization Required (RNP AR) procedures, such as the SDAM RNP Rwy 16 approach.(Avionics International)

According to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Type Certificate Data Sheet, Pilatus has elected to comply with several sections of the Certification Specifications for Airborne Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CS-ACNS), including:(EASA)

  • Subsection 6 — Supplementary specifications for RNP authorization required (RNP AR)
  • Subsection 7 — Supplementary specifications for applications for advanced RNP (A-RNP)
  • Subsection 8 — Supplementary specifications supporting radius to fix (RF)
  • Subsection 10 — Supplementary specifications supporting parallel offset(CAA, EASA)

The PC-24 is equipped with the Honeywell Primus Epic 2.0-based Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), which provides RNP 0.3 capability and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approach capability. (Pilatus Aircraft)

However, it’s important to note that while the aircraft is certified for RNP AR approaches, individual operators must obtain specific operational approvals from their respective aviation authorities to conduct RNP AR procedures. These approvals ensure that the operator’s procedures, training, and equipment meet the necessary standards for such approaches.

In summary, the Pilatus PC-24 is technically capable and certified for RNP AR approaches like the SDAM RNP Rwy 16, but operational approval is required for each operator to conduct these procedures.

Hi,
I have checked the stock PC-24 now, and I see the RNP16 approach:

… also I have tested the stock C172 with the G1000 and here you see the RNP16 approach too:

So, I can´t identify any navdata issue here, nor is this approach missing from the data. Have you installed any 3rd-party scenery?

Cheers,

Thank you. I have checked with other stock plane (Citation CJ3) and I still can’t see this RNP approach. But yes, I have installed the payware scenery for SDAM (SDAM Campo dos Amarais Airport · Unofficial MSFS Marketplace Browser)

I will try removing it and retrying.

Cheers

Indeed, after disabling the scenery, the procedure is available for the PC-24 (and most likely others).

I will try to contact the scenery developer for a fix.

Thank you so much for the support!
Cheers!
