Really nice informative video it brought back great memories when I flew RNP approaches at the airline I flew for for many years... I am just getting into MSFS and really like the PMDG -700 very much. You can also just enter the chart required RNP value directly in the LEGS Page and save some time. Also I don't remember having to add the Vert RNP of 125 manually. I seem to remember that was the default with our software. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Great video. This helped a ton and you explained it very well. I was laughing when other airplane being on the runway while you were landing. I think it's safe to assume somebody was fired that later that day. lol
Thank you. Very helpful information. I find a lot of the RNAV/RNP approaches I fly with the pmdg 737 (mostly U.S. airports) require a lot of speed brake to have any chance of meeting altitudes and speeds. I do wonder if that is true IRL or just an anomaly of FS2020 and/or the simulated 737.
Thanks, glad it was helpful. It is quite common IRL for the aircraft to be high and fast, it can also go the other way by getting slow and the auto-throttle having to add power to maintain the profile. Cheers
Although it is not charted, 125 is the vertical requirement for any RNP approach, regardless of the lateral RNP used. The default of 400 is satisfactory for any other type of RNAV approach.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. BTW, The latest update to the PMDG 737 should improve the LNAV tracking. Cheers!

Thanks. I think the PMDG update will get ride of the extra fixes added to the approach.

At 12:32, I understood RNP 0.1 is in nav chart, but did not get how could you calculate or get "125/" in VERT RNP/ANP?

Excellent video thanks
