Narrative:
ATIS reported visual approaches (not charted visuals) to 25L and 19 left/right. Flights ahead of ours were getting 25L and we were on the grnpa arrival. We briefed a visual to 25L. Upon our change over to vegas approach we received a change to 19R. We were short on time to make the change. In the rush to change to 19R neither of us found an RNAV visual approach due to the placement in the ipad jeppsen [FD pro]. We found an RNAV to 19R but it was GPS. Since we were cleared for the visual we loaded that into the FMC. We were both aware of terrain and selected a safe altitude and made a slight turn to be sure to avoid the terrain and started a decent. ATC noticed our course change and questioned which approach we were flying. Advised we were on the incorrect approach. It was not until we parked that we were able to find the RNAV visual to 19R.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A320 flight crew reports being cleared for the RNAV Visual to Runway 19R at LAS but can't locate the procedure on their iPads. The RNAV (GPS) 19R is loaded believing this is what the controller meant. It is not; and vectors are issued for a standard visual approach.
