Navigraph Rolls Out Cycle 2610 Navdata with Expanded RNP AR Coverage
By James Whitfield · · 2 min read
Navigraph's October AIRAC cycle brings updated Jeppesen charts and SimBrief integration, adding RNP AR approach procedures for dozens of airports. The update is now live across MSFS 2024, X-Plane 12, and P3D.
Navigraph has released AIRAC cycle 2610, its October 2026 navdata update, now available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 12, and Prepar3D. The cycle incorporates the latest Jeppesen-sourced terminal procedures, with a notable expansion of RNP AR (Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required) approaches at challenging airports such as Innsbruck (LOWI), Queenstown (NZQN), and Aspen (KASE). For simmers flying advanced airliners like the PMDG 737NG or Fenix A320, accurate RNP AR coding is critical for realistic LNAV/VNAV operations into terrain-constrained fields.
SimBrief has also been updated in lockstep, with its route optimization engine now accounting for the revised airway structure across the North Atlantic Tracks and the new PBN routes in Southeast Asia. Navigraph Charts users will see refreshed SID/STAR plates and updated airport diagrams, including taxiway redesignations at several major hubs. The company notes that its in-sim panel now supports MSFS 2024's native EFB integration, allowing seamless chart overlay without leaving the cockpit.
For cockpit builders using Skalarki or CockpitPhD hardware, Navigraph continues to support external display output, though users should verify their FMS database alignment after updating. As always, the cycle is accessible via Navigraph Hub, and a standalone manual installer is provided for legacy platforms. With VATSIM's CTP event approaching, having current navdata is non-negotiable—update now to avoid SID/STAR mismatches.
