ZYTL RWY 10 – RNP AR procedures shown only as RNAV in navdata/Charts (AIRAC 2608)

Dear Navigraph Support Team,

I would like to report a possible approach procedure naming/classification issue at ZYTL (Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport) in AIRAC 2608.

Environment:

  • Simulator: X-Plane 12

  • Aircraft: ToLiss A330-900

  • Navigation data: Navigraph AIRAC 2608

  • Airport: ZYTL

  • Runway: 10

In the current Navigraph charts, the approach plates clearly distinguish between different types of approaches for RWY 10, including:

  • RNP Z RWY 10 (AR)

  • RNP Y RWY 10 (AR)

  • RNAV ILS/DME Z RWY 10

  • ILS/DME Y RWY 10

However, in the navigation database / aircraft FMS approach selection, the relevant RNP procedure appears to be identified only as an RNAV approach rather than an RNP approach.

I noticed the same general RNAV naming/classification in the Navigraph software procedure selection, while the actual approach chart itself specifically identifies the procedure as RNP Z/Y RWY 10 (AR).

For example, after selecting the corresponding RNAV approach in the ToLiss FMGS, the final approach sequence contains:

TL102 → TL502 → TL501

which appears to correspond to the published RNP AR procedure on the chart.

This can be confusing because an RNAV ILS/DME approach and an RNP AR approach are operationally very different procedures, even though both may involve area navigation. From the procedure selection page alone, it is difficult to determine which one corresponds to the RNP AR approach shown on the chart.

Could you please confirm whether this is an intentional consequence of the ARINC 424/source-data naming convention, or whether the RNP AR procedures at ZYTL should be identified more specifically in the navigation data and/or Navigraph Charts procedure list?

If this is a data issue, I would appreciate it if you could review the procedure coding/naming for ZYTL RWY 10.

I can also provide screenshots of:

  1. The Navigraph approach selection list,

  2. The RNP Z/Y RWY 10 (AR) charts, and

  3. The ToLiss FMGS approach selection and resulting flight plan.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards
