Performance (RNP) position within which an aircraft would be for at least 95 percent of the total flying
Type time. For example, RNP-4 represents a lateral and longitudinal navigation
accuracy of 4 nm on a 95 percent basis. Note: Applications of RNP to terminal
area and other operations may also include a vertical component.

Sustainable Transfer A sustainable transfer is a transfer of operational control, without any impediment, by a contract, agreement, lease, or other written or verbal arrangement between the owner, lessor, or other entity, and any other entity, that restricts any person or entity from transferring operational control to the certificate holder. Examples of such impediments are lease, mortgage, insurance, management agreements, and other agreements which limit the use of the aircraft to a particular party or purpose other than the certificate holder and its authorized kinds of operation.
VFR Station-Referenced Class I Navigation VFR station-referenced Class I navigation is any operation conducted within the operational service volumes of ICAO standard navigation aids under visual flight rules (VFR) which uses nonvisual navigation aids (stations), such as VOR, VOR/ DME, or NDB as the primary navigation reference. VFR station-referenced Class I navigation includes Class I navigation conducted on-airways and off-airway routings predicated on airways navigation facilities. These operations also include Class I navigation using an area navigation system which is certificated for IFR flights over the routes being flown.
