Required Navigation Performance was envisaged by ICAO as a means to avoid the inflexibility and slow changability of equipment mandates for airspace operation. It is an advanced tool in air traffic control, and will replace the current navigation system. Therefore, a new collision risk model related to RNP is required to be established. This paper present a RNP-based collision risk model by assuming route structure and deriving the RNP distribution density formula, then provides the CRM value of separation varying from about 1 to 100 n mile. The results obtained by computer simulation. The estimates of the lateral risk due to all causes are compared with a Target Level of Safety (TLS) of 5e-9 accidents per-flight hour. The legal separations are shown in the table by bold fonts. This research will be of great significance to air traffic controllers or other astronautic researchers.
