Flight Tech offers two RNAV GPS approach using RNP 0.30 connecting to a WAAS LPV final approach and significantly lower minimums compared to what the current approaches provide. These procedures have a proven track record of reducing hold times and diversions due to inclement weather. The procedures are currently in use by the airlines and their success has saved the airlines hundreds of thousands of dollars by not having to bus passengers from Twin Falls.
Due to the possibility of low-level wind shear, another unique aspect of Sun Valley operations is planning for a go-around below DA. This can result in the inability of the aircraft to continue on the published missed approach path due to terrain. To plan for this potential scenario, Flight Tech has also made available a guided balked landing extraction procedure to provide a safe terrain-optimized path back to a safe hold location. This procedure can be encoded and may be retrieved from the FMS for ease of use.
A specialized Airport Familiarization and Procedure Training Program is also available for operators.
For operators whose avionics are not capable of RNP 0.30 and RF legs, Flight Tech now has a new approach for the 2024 season (the RNAV-31Q) that is compatible with a wide variety of avionics.
