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. An LP MDA will typically be at least somewhat lower than a corresponding LNAV MDA. (See Figure 2.)

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-to-one (c. 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 20-138C (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

• AFM Supplement 25 (FMS) generically references GNSS and SBAS. 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. Approaches to airports in other airspace are not approved unless authorized by the appropriate governing authority.”

• AFM Supplement 9 (EASA Certified Airplanes) states the following limitation: “The minimum decision altitude for an SBAS LPV approach is 250 feet AGL or that specified in the procedure, whichever is higher.” This limitation is due to the lack of a “below glidepath” alert for LPV approaches.

750 (1-313) Honeywell Primus 2000 Limited availability at this time via SB750-34-59

• Currently this upgrade is available only for Citation X aircraft registered in the United States that do not have winglets installed. 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 at Cessna and Winglet Technology.

• AFM Supplement 44 (FMS 6.1) generically references GNSS and SBAS and also references EASA AMC 20-27 as well as AMC 20-28.

1. The above schedule estimates are provided for informational purposes and are based on the best available information as of the date shown at the beginning of this briefing. Schedules are subject to change.

2. Cessna does not currently have specific plans for other out-of-production models not shown in the table above. We will evaluate potential solutions for such models as we are able. It may be impractical for Cessna to develop SBAS solutions for some models.
