HAT = 326 ft
Glide Slope = 3º
Threshold Crossing Height = 50 ft
954 ft 5280 ft = 1 sm
3960 ft=3/4 sm
HAT = 257 ft
1. Determine Height Above Touchdown (HAT) from OCS
2. Determine visibility from distance of HAT point to runway threshold
3. Approach lights can affect visibility

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

GPS/WAAS/LAAS Approaches (Concluded)
• LAAS (and future WAAS with dual frequency)
– GNSS Landing System (GLS)
• Equivalent of ILS CAT I
• Best GLS/ILS Cat. I minima: 200 ft HAT
LNAV/BARO-VNAV 350’

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

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

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

Observations
• ILS, GLS, and LPV dominate the lowest visibility minima
• Even RNP RNAV with SAAAR has increased approach
minima at most runways relative to ILS/GLS/LPV
– Some runways will exhibit improved minima
• E.g., Runways in Alaska noted previously
– Despite additional certification, equipment and training
requirements
• Why do the RNP RNAV approaches show reduced
benefits?
– Investigate effect of removing secondary areas from OCSs
– Investigate effect of curved approaches (short finals)
• 3 nm length of final

performance is still not comparable to ILS, GLS or
LPV
• Why?

Narrow RNP RNAV OCSs
• Suppose we narrow the RNP RNAV OCS significantly
• Example:
– ILS/GLS/LPV OCS is + 400 ft wide near the runway threshold
– Let 2 x RNP = 400 ft 􀃎 RNP = 200 ft/6076 ft/nm = .033 nm
• No secondary areas

minimum. For GLS vertical, a minimum of 200 ft HAT is assumed.

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

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?

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
