Technology Briefing Subject: Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Approach Capability Distribution: Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker Operators Date: April 28, 2015 Revision: 2 Note: Changes since the last version of this document (Rev 1 – Feb 4, 2015) are highlighted. Definitions Area Navigation (RNAV) – A method of airborne navigation that permits aircraft to operate on any desired flight path (i.e., not just directly from ground-based navaid to ground-based navaid) within the coverage of suitable (typically satellite-based) navigation systems. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) – Generic term for a system that provides satellite-based navigation services for aircraft, such as GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo (planned system for Europe). Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) – A system that corrects GNSS navigation signals for regional atmospheric variations in order to further refine an aircraft’s navigation accuracy, both laterally and vertically. Examples of SBAS systems include the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in the US/North America as well as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV) – Generic term for RNAV (GPS) instrument approaches that provide a constant angle of descent to the runway. Vertical flight path guidance may be based upon either barometric altitude or SBAS-enhanced GNSS signals. LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches fall within the APV category. LNAV Approach – A traditional, non-precision RNAV (GPS) “step-down” approach. The minimum descent altitude (MDA) is found on the approach chart’s LNAV line of minima. This type of approach uses GNSS for lateral guidance and barometric altitude for vertical guidance to each descent altitude. (See Figure 1.) LNAV/VNAV Approach – A non-precision RNAV (GPS) approach that uses GNSS for lateral position and provides a constant angle of descent to the runway based upon barometric altimetry. The Decision Altitude (DA) is found on the approach chart’s LNAV/VNAV line of minima. In the United States, LNAV/VNAV approaches require GNSS signal coverage and accurate barometric altimetry, but SBAS capability is not required. (See Figure 1.) Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Approach – A non-precision RNAV (GPS) approach that provides a constant angle of descent to the runway based upon SBAS signals. The decision altitude is found on the approach chart’s LPV line of minima. Minima for an LPV approach are typically equivalent or similar to those of an ILS approach. An approved SBAS-capable avionics system is required in order to conduct this type of approach. (See Figure 1.) Page 1 of 16 Localizer Performance (LP) Approach – A more recent type of non-precision RNAV (GPS) “step-down” approach. The MDA is found on the approach chart’s LP line of minima. This type of approach is very similar to a localizer-only approach, but an approved SBAS-capable avionics system with the appropriate capabilities is required. Barometric altitude is used for vertical guidance to each descent altitude. The MDA for this type of approach will typically be at least somewhat lower than that of an LNAV approach. (See Figure 2.) Figure 1 – RNAV (GPS) Approach with LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, and LPV Lines of Minima Page 2 of 16 Figure 2 – RNAV (GPS) Approach with LP and LNAV Lines of Minima Page 3 of 16 Background In the past, the capability to provide smooth, stable vertical approach path guidance to a relatively low Decision Altitude (DA) – e.g., 200 ft AGL – has been the exclusive domain of expensive, ground-based landing systems. Until more recently, traditional GPS approaches had required a series of “step-down” altitudes to a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). LNAV/VNAV and LPV approach capabilities have changed this situation, offering ILS-like vertical guidance without requiring the installation or maintenance of expensive ILS systems at airports. Available LPV approaches in the United States’ National Airspace System now outnumber ILS approaches by a ratio that is rapidly approaching three-toone (3500 LPV vs. 1300 ILS). Key Benefits • Simplified approach procedures and improved safety resulting from a constant angle of descent to the runway (LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches). • Significantly lower approach minima for LPV approaches compared with traditional LNAV-only approaches. • Better access to airports and runways that do not have ILS systems installed but which have published LPV approaches. Equipment Requirements The following equipment must be installed, certified, and approved in order for an aircraft to conduct LPV approaches: • SBAS/GNSS receiver(s) • Avionics and Flight Management System(s) capable of conducting LPV approaches • Capability to provide the required Level-of-Service (LOS) indications to the flight crew, indicating whether an LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LP, or LNAV-only approach may be conducted based upon current SBAS/GNSS signal reception. • Note: With recent SBAS LPV certification efforts, the FAA and EASA have begun to require “below glidepath” alerting capability for LPV approaches, if the aircraft in question is equipped with a Class A Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) that provides glideslope deviation alerting during ILS approaches. See paragraph 14-6.7 in FAA Advisory Circular AC 20138C (link below). Regulatory Status • There are no worldwide or regional mandates for SBAS capability, per se. However, for practical reasons, SBAS GNSS receiver capability (with or without LPV approach capability) is generally necessary to support ADS-B Out capability, which will be mandatory in much of the world by 2020. The reasons for this are addressed in the Technology Briefing entitled “SBAS GPS Receivers and ADS-B Out Capability.” Compliance Status of Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker Aircraft Refer to Tables 1, 2, and 3 beginning on page 6 for information regarding the status of Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft with respect to the availability of suitable SBAS LPV-capable FMS and avionics systems. Note: Because WAAS/SBAS and LPV approaches were originally available only in the United States, the Approved Flight Manuals (AFMs) or AFM supplements for a number of aircraft models listed in the tables still include limitations stating that LPV approaches are not approved outside the United States (or similar restrictions). These restrictions are noted in summary form in the Remarks column of the Page 4 of 16 tables. Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker have begun efforts to address these restrictions, now that SBAS LPV approaches are available in other regions besides the United States, such as Canada and Europe.

It also references EASA AMC 20-27, but it does not reference AMC 20-28. • Supplement contains a limitation that states, “IFR approach approval is limited to published approaches within the U.S. National Airspace System.

Future upgrades will enable SBAS LPV capability on aircraft registered in EASA member states as well as on aircraft with winglets installed pending completion of the corresponding follow-on certification efforts. • AFM Supplement 44 (FMS 6.1) generically references GNSS and SBAS and also references EASA AMC 20-27 as well as AMC 20-28. • “Below glidepath” alert capability is included with SB750-34-59.
