GPS Approaches (LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV, LNAV+V & LP)

Question 1

LPV

Answer 1

Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance

• flown to a Decision Altitude
• WAAS required
• APV approach
• best

Question 2

LNAV/VNAV

Answer 2

Lateral & Vertical Navigation

• flown to a Decision Altitude (DA)
• APV approach
• can use a unaugmented GPS approved for IFR

Question 3

LNAV

Answer 3

Lateral Navigation

• flown to a Minimum Descent Altitude
• non- precision approach
• chop & drop down to the minimum at the FAF

Question 4

LNAV + V

Answer 4

Lateral Navigation PLUS Vertical gudienace

• NOT ON ANY CHART
  
  • bc it’s not an official type of GOS approach
• advisory glide path
  
  • GPS simulates a glide path for ADVISORY PURPOSES
• flown to a Minimum Descent Altitude
• fly the glide path, BUT DO NOT GO BELOW MINIMUMS
  
  • even if the glide slope indicates to, ITS ADVISORY ONLY

Question 5

LP

Answer 5

Localizer Performance

• NO glidepth
• the GPS equivalent of a localizer only approach
• flown to a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA)

Question 6

what GPS approaches require a Decision Altitude (DA)

Answer 6

• Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV)
• Lateral & Vertical Navigation (LNAV/ VNAV)
• only two GPS approach under APV approaches (approach with vertical guidance)

Question 7

what GPS approaches require a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA)

Answer 7

• Lateral Navigation (LNAV)
• Lateral Navigation PLUS Vertical guidance (LNAV + V)
• Localizer Performance (LP)
