Departure Track Keeping Trial - Improving Performance

Through feedback from local communities, we have developed with the CAA, NATS and the Airport Consultative Committee, an innovative departure track keeping trial called RNP1. This is a first for any UK Airport. The aim of the trial is to fly turns more accurately on departure to reduce the usual spread of tracks within the 3km wide departure corridor. The report is based on the first 18 months of data from those aircraft that were permitted to fly the RNP1 departures.
