The use of the arrival flight paths into Hamilton Island Airport is changing.
QantasLink is equipping its fleet of Dash 8 Q400 aircraft to be Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP-AR) capable. RNP-AR technology allows the aircraft to be flown along a precise flight path with greater accuracy and provides alerts to the flight crew if the aircraft deviates from the planned route. Because of the greater accuracy, it also allows flights to be flown more efficiently and helps to reduce fuel burn, track miles and emissions.
The RNP-AR procedure for Hamilton is available for all aircraft types. However, it can only be flown by aircraft that have been equipped with the required technology and where the flight crew have been authorised by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to conduct RNP-AR operations.
The implementation of RNP-AR technology on the QantasLink Q400 fleet means that propeller-driven (turboprop) aircraft are now able to use both the existing RNAV approach (shown in red on the images below) as well as the existing RNP-AR procedure (shown in blue) into Hamilton Island Airport for both runway ends (runway 14 and runway 32).
