We report on the performance of our A320 during novel advanced RNP procedures which contain a fixed radius turn that delivers the aircraft onto a short ILS precision final. The three main areas of interest of the flight trials were the performance of the autoland capability, vertical path following during the RNP part and lateral path following during the transition from RNP to localizer guidance.
