How do you fly an RNAV approach?
-
They technically can based on the FMS and the IRS system but without a GPS you would illegally be conducting them without equipment giving accuracy to .3 of a nautical mile.
You can set the AP into Nav and PROF and it'll follow the rough profile on the FMS

Correct, the Fokkers do not have GNSS/GPS so can't fly an RNAV. Same in real life.
You can fly them in the sim, but the systems are not build or certified for it. -
@kityatyi I doubt they develop something that may not be found on any current operator. Alliance out of Australia is the largest fleet of F70 and F100 at about 35 total airframes. I cannot find any info on if they have been upgraded. There is only one upgrade provider I can find, Fokker Services Group. You have a great old school aircraft that you can fly old school approaches on. Take advantage. Also, remember that such upgrades would have cost a few million dollars for operators and it will cost JF time to do. Like the real-world operators, you have to ask yourself if you would be willing to pay for such an upgrade. If JF were to do it, they may not charge anything for it, however when asking for such detailed development it should be something you find worth paying for.
