This rule better aligns FAA regulations regarding the North Atlantic (NAT) Minimum Navigation Performance Specifications (MNPS) with the relevant International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. The ICAO NAT Region is transitioning from the decades-old MNPS navigation specification to a more modern, Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) specification. This rule also incorporates by reference the current version of Annex 2 ("Rules of the Air") to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (the "Chicago Convention"), hereinafter referred to as "ICAO Annex 2," in the FAA's regulations.
