Right now, the CNX-80 does not give vertical guidance, but that is
promised in software version 2.0, hopefully to be approved by Q3/2004.
That software v2.0 has been in flight test since Q4/2003.
I'm unaware of any box nearer than the CNX-80 to LPV capability.

I see that my reference should have been AIM 1-1-19(a)(8). Other than =
that,
the guidance remains the same.

I note the phrase "will be" sprinkled through the discussion of WAAS. =
Has
WAAS been approved for operational use? How many boxes have the
functionality described in 1-1-20?...I think the CX-80 does.

Can't address your problem, but AIM 1-1-20(a)(8) tells us not to =

1-1-20's title is "Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)." There is =

barometric altimeters.
