Latvian airline airBaltic has successfully completed a green demonstration flight for its Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 NextGen aircraft as part of the AMBER (Arrival Modernisation for Better Efficiency in Riga) project which aims to prove the efficiency and greenness of modern navigation-based approaches to Riga. The flight was the first ever satellite guided (Required Navigation Performance - RNP) approach in Latvia to be flown by the type. The specially-trained crew conducted approaches from all of the five new AMBER trajectories and post flight they reported that everything worked well and as expected.
