![]() In Boeing aircraft, when in LNAV mode, the autopilot will follow the lateral flight path programmed in to the Flight Management Computer. LNAV is also the name of an autopilot lateral ( roll) mode on several aircraft. I have never seen +V indicated on an approach chart, although one can normally guess if it will be provided. LNAV+V is a feature and invention of the manufacturer and is not part of the approach evaluation criteria. If WAAS becomes unavailable, a GPS or WAAS equipped aircraft can revert to the LNAV MDA using GPS only. The Garmin WAAS GPS Units are approved for flying officially vertically guided APV approaches, both LPV and LNAV/VNAV. ![]() ![]() Instrument approaches Īn LNAV approach is flown to a Minimum Descent Altitude, MDA, while an LNAV/VNAV approach is flown to a Decision Altitude, DA. When combined with VNAV, the resulting instrument approach, LNAV/VNAV, is referred to as an Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV). Area navigation (RNAV) approach plates include LNAV as a non-precision instrument approach (NPA). In aviation, lateral navigation ( LNAV, usually pronounced el-nav) is azimuth navigation, without vertical navigation (VNAV). This assures that the obstacle will be in the LPV visual segment to be avoided and that if a missed approach is required, the obstacle will be avoided on the miss which allows for an additional sink value below the DA.īottom line, two TERPS specifications, two answers.Aircraft navigation in the horizontal plane When an obstacle penetrates the LPV surface, the height of the obstacle is projected back along and up the obstacle surface until it reaches the height of the obstacle on the surface. That makes obstacles that are very close into the runway can penetrate the LPV obstacle surface, but not the LNAV/VNAV level surface. When the sloped obstacle surface reaches a certain distance from the runway, it levels off for a level segment for the balance of the distance. Because of the smaller integrity limit and angular guid-ance, the size of the obstacle trapezoid is smaller than LNAV/VNAV. The LNAV/VNAV has a sloped segment and a level segment that are evaluated along the final approach course. LNAV/VNAV and ILS ap-proaches, LPV procedures eval-uate the Glideslope Qualification Surface. The LPV TERPS evaluates a sloped surface that is a straight line in space, all the way to the runway. Regardless, anytime you have two ways of evaluating a GS, each with its own TERPS obstacle clearance requirements, there are bound to be cases such as the Raleigh one. The WAAS usage of the LNAV/VNAV is based on certain limitations in the vertical path GS indications that the WAAS system generates, allowing them to be close enough to the path for the LNAV/VNAV. The LPV is a straight line in space whereas the LNAV/VNAV is a curved path (following the curvature of the earth) and designed for avionics that have a barometric altimeter input that measures MSL height along the curvature of the earth. The LNAV/VNAV procedure and LPV procedures are base on different criteria to evaluate obstacle clearance. And the corrections required for very cold temperature are inputted from a table in a similar way. Specifically authorized WAAS users with and using approved baro-VNAV. I would imagine that even in a small airplane the altimeter that provides altitude information to the ‘Baro’ GPS is a separate altimeter from the altimeter in the panel of the airplane and has to be adjusted by the pilot as the panel altimeter. Additionally, runways with both LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches (at airports with three-character identifiers) are also affected. when the WAAS navigation system indicates that LNAV/VNAV or LPV service is.These types of approaches are differentiated from Precision approaches (ILS, PAR, etc.) in the FAA AIM (Section 5-4-5, Paragraph 7): (b) Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV). Are all the ‘non WAAS’ Garmin 430 ‘Baro’ equipped? LPV, LNAV/VNAV, and Baro VNAV are considered to be an Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV). ![]() ![]()
