View Full Version : How to find LPV approaches?

None of the RNAV approaches at my local airport has LPV minimums. I want
to try out our club's nifty new 530W. I've tried a couple of LNAV+VNAV
approaches, and they aren't all that exciting because the mins aren't any
better than the LNAV-only minimums.

Is there a search engine that will find the nearest airports with LPV
approach mins, or do I have to grovel through the whole approach book?

Don't have the answer on how to search a database of approaches but Syracuse,
NY, just down the road from you, has LPV approaches to all four runways.

I should add that there always seems to be WAAS NOTAMs for these approaches,
so double check the FDC NOTAMs before you go (probably pointless to say...).

Hey, your search engine link turned up this one, which contains an Excel
spreadsheet of the latest LPV approaches (about half way down):

Ha, I meant to send the url of the spreadsheet, but somehow sent the
link to the search output instead. Anyway, you found it.
