This makes perfect sense, thank you again.

Thank you. I believe this settles the question. Given (as you confirmed) that the path is the same for LPV and LNAV/VNAV under WAAS, there is no basis in safety for any more restrictive interpretation. Just as an aside, I'm curious that this TSO seems to allow the GPS to downgrade the...

Since you have mentioned the name, I will simply confirm your assumption. :) Thank you, that answers my question as regards safety... ... and this confirms my understanding of the relationship between the two glidepaths. Identical angles, tighter guidance on the LPV. It seems the only...

I know - but it is still something that could make the difference between getting in and not. And I'm interested in the principle here as well - there seems to be a rash of such new NOTAMs in the area lately, and with some of these approaches LPV may confer a greater advantage. And tbh...

So you cannot follow the LPV GS to the LNAV/VNAV DA? Why not?

Well now, again, that's what I'm not sure of. I *thought* the two glidepaths had the same angle but different vertical thicknesses - the L/V being thicker and thus less precise. But I'm not certain of that.

So far the answers all echo my own thinking about this... but I have a very firm answer to the contrary from someone who claims to be very confident (a respected CFII, whom I won't name because he no longer posts here), and who discussed this with Garmin earlier today and came away even more...

Title says it all. The approach in question is the RNAV 17 at KMPV. The approach has an LPV DA, an LNAV/VNAV DA that is about 100 feet higher, and an LNAV MDA that is higher still. The LPV DA is NA by NOTAM due to trees close to the airport perimeter, evidently affecting clearance on the missed...

So is Vermont. I'm over 65, but do not expect to get my first shot until MAYBE April.

Great news Nate! Congrats! :cheers:

Nate, glad to hear things are still progressing nicely... good luck with the imagery coming up next week. With luck, the news will be good.

I keep mine on when driving home from the store so as not to handle the thing until I'm ready to soap it up. If I haven't been inside an establishment, I'm not wearing it. Just a data point.

True... and last month there was (at least locally) a severe shortage of dishwashing soap (Dawn, Palmolive, etc.) that lasted at least 3 weeks.

I have just about that number as well... and it has nothing to do with the pandemic. The nearest Costco is over 50 miles away, so for the last 5 years I've been buying one or two bales every time I go. It has gradually built up, since I don't use THAT much. I haven't bought any at all this year.

Yes, there is clearly something strange with my installation. But it doesn't appear to be internal to the GMX-200 as the unit was out to Garmin last fall (to the tune of 1 AMU) and was returned without anything done - Garmin couldn't reproduce the problem. There was a known issue with wx data...

I can't speak to that. I'm talking about a GMX-200, different hardware entirely.

I'll be interested to learn what their reasons were for not hearing the challenge. The US News article doesn't give much detail there.

I've been toying with a move like that myself. Today for the first time since the GTX-345 was installed, my GMX-200 crashed - on landing back at home base. Approach and landing were always phases of flight where it was more likely than usual to crash, but it hadn't done it EVEN ONCE during the...

The avionics shop finally resolved the ADS-B wx issue yesterday, by doing something I'm amazed they hadn't done a long time ago: disabling the GDL-69 that I had been getting my XM weather from. They told me it was intentional, in case I wanted both (or wanted to listen to XM radio ;)), but I'm...

Yes, it could be both. I can buy the explanation that people started stocking up in anticipation of lockdowns because those measures were being imposed in other countries. I can also buy the idea that once people weren't using the facilities at work, the demand for the retail product rose, and...
