GPS/WAAS/LAAS Approaches Area Navigation (RNAV) Approaches • WAAS intent has been to provide several levels of service for instrument approaches – Lateral Navigation (LNAV) • No vertical guidance (Non-precision Approach) – Lateral/Vertical Navigation (LNAV-VNAV) and Barometric/Vertical Navigation (BARO-VNAV) • Comparable performance to NPA lateral guidance and vertical guidance using barometric altimeter • Requires WAAS or GPS-BARO/VNAV (no DME/DME in USA) • Best theoretical HAT is 250 ft (rarely attained) – LPV • “Near CAT I service” • Best LPV minima: 250 ft HAT 9 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation.

RNAV OCSs • Although the navigation error is generally constant throughout the approach for RNAV systems, the increase in display sensitivity results in progressively smaller total errors as the aircraft approaches the runway/NAVAID • Resultant RNAV OCSs are – GLS: Identical to ILS – LPV (APV I): • Horizontal is identical to ILS • Vertical is more conservative (closer to ground) to account for reduced vertical integrity 12 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation. All Rights Reserved. RNP RNAV • RNP RNAV has potential benefits in the oceanic, en route, terminal, and approach domain – RNP-10 implemented in oceanic airspace • Reduced route separation – RNP approaches developed at some airports in Alaska • Significant airport access benefits attained • Focus of this discussion will be the final approach segment 13 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation. All Rights Reserved. RNP RNAV Approaches • RNP RNAV assumes constant display sensitivity and constant navigational errors – Nearly constant total flight errors approaching the runway • Currently use BARO-VNAV vertical profile – Other profiles are under investigation • RNP-.3 can be flown with GPS, WAAS, or LAAS avionics – RNP-.3 using DME/DME currently not authorized in USA • RNP RNAV below .3 will require Special Aircraft and Aircrew Authorization Required (SAAAR) – Additional certification, equipment, and training 14 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation.

All Rights Reserved. Observations • The use of the improved vertical OCS produced lower minima for RNP RNAV approaches – ILS/GLS OCS only proposed as an example • Complexity of certification for small RNP values (such as RNP-.033) is unknown – RNP-.1 will still require SAAAR • Increased certification, equipment, and training costs • RNP RNAV and SAAAR will certainly be beneficial at some airports, but it is clear that there will be no substantial benefit over ILS, GLS or even LPV at most airports • Is there a less costly/easier way to attain good minima at most airports? 32 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Hybrid Approaches • It may be possible to combine RNP, GLS, and/or LPV into a single hybrid approach, where RNP RNAV criteria are used far from the runway, and the aircraft transitions to a GLS or LPV approach near to the runway – Possible application using ILS also • Such approaches should avoid the extra certification, equipment, and training of SAAAR • What would the benefits be of such approaches? 33 April 2004 © 2004 The MITRE Corporation.

All Rights Reserved. Observations • Application of current RNP RNAV approach criteria will result in higher minima at most airports in comparison to ILS, LAAS or WAAS-based approaches – Some airports will benefit, but most will have higher minima • Improvement of the vertical profile of RNP RNAV offers significant benefit with respect to approach minima – GLS vertical OCS investigated in this paper • Hybrid RNP RNAV and LAAS/WAAS approaches appear to have excellent capability to achieve the benefits of RNP and low approach minima while avoiding the costs of SAAAR – RNP to GLS and LPV investigated in this paper © 2004 The MITRE Corporation.
