KLN94 GPS and flying "overlay" GPS approaches

If the approach doesn't have "or GPS" in the title; e.g, "VOR Runway 18"
the avionics vendor can still elect to have the approach in the database
but it cannot invoke approach senesitivity nor RAIM for the final
approach segment. In other words, it would be advisory only and only
"additional pilot information" to the VOR approach terminal routes and
final approach segment.

That apears to be what's happened in Europe (Jepp database) but I will
have a look at some of these to see if the "GPS" flag shows. I've
never seen it showing before.

What does your KLN94 Pilot's Guide say in the section on selecting
approaches? Here is a note from the Pilot's Guide that I'm using:

NOTE: Those approaches not having the letters GPS to the right of the
approach name are not approved for GPS. Therefore, the KLN 94 may
ONLY be used to provide situational awareness and monitoring for these
approaches. When a non-approved approach is selected a page is displayed
for the pilot to acknowledge
by pressing the Fbutton (figure 6-
10). When a non-approved
approach is selected the unit will
remain in approach arm mode (or
terminal mode) and will not transition
to the approach active mode.

Now, if your unit follows the same rules, and none of your approaches have
"gps" next to them, then what good is the fact that the unit is certified
for IFR Approaches?

Something must be missing...
