As I understand the new RNAV approaches support three types of approach:
Lateral-only navigation (Basically the traditional GPS approach?) LNAV/VNAV LPV Now, IIRC, only the LPV approaches *require* WAAS, while the LNAV/VNAV approaches support use of barometrically-derived *or* WAAS VNAV guidance. I understand that baro-VNAV is a common function of FMSs, but are there any panel-mount GPSs out there (beside the CNX-80) which can provide this type of vertical guidance with the necessary RNP? swimming in the bowl of new alphabet soup... -cwk. |

I'm pretty sure the GNS480 (CNX80 with Software version 2) is the only GPS panel unit yet certified for VNAV of any kind. No other such unit yet meets TSO-C146a with its 5/second update rate. Today I flew my very first LNAV/VNAV approach, but I remained in VMC. The approach was easier than I expected. ---JRC--- |
