RNAV Approach Procedures

RNAV (Area Navigation) approach procedures are advanced GPS-based flight paths that guide aircraft precisely to a runway, especially when visibility is limited. They allow pilots to follow a pre-planned, predetermined route using satellite signals, which can be more direct and flexible than traditional ground-based guidance systems. RNAV approaches improve safety and efficiency by enabling aircraft to land accurately even in challenging weather conditions or at airports with complex terrain. Essentially, RNAV approaches provide reliable, precise navigation assistance to pilots, ensuring safe landings when visual cues are insufficient.
