The FAA issued a Notice in 2025 to discontinue its review and approval process for foreign Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Authorization Required (AR) procedures (OpSpec C384) and foreign CAT II/III airport facilities (OpSpec C060). In addition, OpSpec C058, Special Restriction for Foreign Instrument Procedures, was decommissioned.

Foreign RNP AR procedure and foreign CAT II/III airport facilities design has matured to the point that FAA approval is no longer required.

FAA Safety Assurance offices will no longer approve operators for use of specific foreign procedures/foreign airports.

Advisory Circular 120-105B, Foreign Terminal Procedures (FTIP) Acceptance/Review is revised to reflect these changes.

Additional guidance for foreign RNP AR procedure review and foreign CAT II/III facility review is available below.
