Focuses on the technical design and obstacle clearance for procedure specialists.
The validation pilots in Volume III are required to fly the missed approach with a delayed reaction, an engine failure, and maximum gross weight. When you fly a published missed approach and barely clear a ridge line by 50 feet, that wasn't an accident. That was a validation pilot, following the rules of Volume III, proving it was physically possible under worst-case conditions. icao doc 8168 volume 3

Since its first edition in 2018, Volume III has undergone several amendments to stay current:
Volume III introduced the concept of validation. For advanced RPN AR (Required Navigation Performance – Authorization Required) approaches, Volume III dictates that a flight inspection crew must intentionally fly off-centerline to prove that the obstacle clearance remains intact. This is why you can trust a 0.3-mile radius curve in the mountains.
