Honeywell has developed a required navigation performance-authorization required (RNP-AR) instrument approach for Runway 34 at Chicago Executive Airport (KPWK). There are no FAA IFR approaches for Runway 34, other than circling from Runway 16 and 30 when winds favor the north runway.

With a 3.2-degree glide path and decision altitude minima of 271 feet, the RNAV (RNP) or RNP-AR approach provides stable lateral and vertical guidance to Runway 34, according to Honeywell.
