WAAS LPV

Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) corrects for GPS Satellite position providing increased accuracy and availability for navigation throughout the Continental U.S.

• Reduces GPS errors down to seven meters
• Eliminates need for P-RAIM (Predictive-Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) in the U.S.
• Provides near ILS Category 1 minimums with no ILS on the field
• WAAS LPV procedures now surpass the number of Category 1, ILS procedures
• Enables crew to use IFR rules for approach and landing operations down to the decision height of 200 feet above touchdown with visibility minimums as low as 1/2 mile
• Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) provides backup to ILS in the even that the glideslope is out of service
• Temperature restrictions are not applicable to LPV approaches
• Provisioned to support other Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) such as European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)
