This Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) is issued to inform stakeholders about best practices, recommendations and potential risks in relation to the development and use of Procedures for Visual Manoeuvring with Prescribed Tracks (VPT) using RNP.

Aircraft operators are encouraged to consider this SIB when introducing RNP (VPT) procedures into operational practices, particularly in environments with challenging terrain or complex airspace, while competent authorities should consider the SIB when assessing these procedures and overseeing operators.

EASA is monitoring the implementation of RNP (VPT) and may consider future rulemaking actions.
