This is why my answer was not super crisp.

This is why my answer was not super crisp.
True RNP approaches require special equipment, special training and special approval.
However, conventional RNAV approaches are (I think) being re-coded as RNP approaches too and this is where the confusion is coming.
And I know for a fact that Garmin 530s are not true RNP capable. Any claim that they are RNP capable now I believe comes from the re-coding of conventional RNAV approaches as "RNP".
We are not delaying the release of this product by 1 second for the super RNP stuff. We are spending time making sure we have the right terminology in the STC and Install Manual as far what capability the box can be recognized as having.
