Abstract
An example nacelle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a nacelle defined about an axis and defining a boundary of a fan bypass flow path. A fan variable area nozzle includes a plurality of inserts movably mounted to said nacelle. Each of the multiple of inserts is located at a circumferential position about the nacelle. The multiple of inserts are each independently moveable into the fan bypass flow path relative the nacelle to selectively vary a fan nozzle exit area.
