Do you need waas for lnav vnav8/13/2023 ![]() In general, LPV approaches have lower minimums than LNAV/VNAV approaches which have lower minimums than LNAV approaches. LNAV+V approaches are essentially LNAV approaches with advisory vertical guidance and you need to adhere to stepdown fix constraints (which are sometimes ignored in the vertical guidance so watch out for terrain clearance issues in case of stepdown fix constraints!). Non-WAAS G1000 will NOT support LNAV/VNAV approaches (often called Baro-VNAV approaches) but will support LNAV+V approaches. You are correct that LPV approaches require WAAS-enabled receivers and availability of the WAAS signal. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. there are already many GPS/WAAS approaches so I assume that there will be a lot of experience with U.S. Is the difference: WAAS/LPV and NON-WAAS for LNAV/VNAV approaches (but with guidance)? I noticed that in general different minima are shown for LPV and LNAV/VNAV approaches. In other European countries there are already many more GPS approaches. In the Netherlands so far we only have one field with a RNAV approach, but the coming years all field will have to also introduce RNAV approaches. Question being: is that guidance lateral or both lateral and vertical. So, I assume that when RAIM is available, there will be guidance from FAF to MAP. "If RAIM is not predicted to be available for the final approach course, the approach does not become active as indicated by the 'RAIM not available from FAF to MAP' messageand the INTEG annunciation flagging". In the orriginal Garmin G1000 Pilot's Guide it states: Will there be any vertical guidance? (albeit to higher minima), or no guidance on the G1000 and simply use the descent information from the approach plate? I understand that LPV approaches require WAAS.īut, how does the G1000 (RAIM okay and '3D NAV') present LNAV/VNAV approaches? Investigating the need (or not) to upgrade to WAAS, I studied the G1000 pilot guide and other documents, but it is not totally clear to me, I am still left with several questions. I am flying my DA-42 (S/N 42.017 with KAP autopilot) since 2005, and fly primarily traditional approaches (VOR/DME, ILS and ADF) and use the GPS primarily for 'en-route' and SID's and STAR's.
