Default Slant R?

Thanks, but what's throwing me off is the official description says it's
for "enroute and terminal" and does not mention "approaches."


Well, if your GPS is certified for enroute, terminal, and approaches, does
it not have "enroute and terminal" certification? /G was formerly used

for
GPS with en route, terminal, and approach capability but the approach
distinction was dropped a few years
ago.


Yes, I know but I wasn't sure if I was not getting assigned GPS approaches
[without requesting them] by filing /G. Do you recall if the FAA
disseminated *why* they dropped the "approach" distinction?
