The Garmin 480 now supports LPV approaches which are ILS like
approaches using WAAS-GPS for both LNAV and VNAV.

My question. I'm assuming the LPV approach would target 1000ft down
the runway as the TDZ (just like an ILS). Does this mean that LPV
approaches will not be added to the airports with smaller runways?

For example, my homefield (3ck)has a 3058 runway. The 1000 ft TDZ
would only leave 2000 ft to get stopped, so I am wondering if an LPV
approach would ever be added at 3ck (or similar airports).

AFAIK the GPS approach uses the end of the runway for the approach point.
The reason an ILS takes you further down is that the GS transmitter is
located down the runway, not at the end. With a GPS, any position can be
used, unlike an ILS where the transmitters have to be placed down the way,
not at the end of the runway because of obstruction and interference reasons.
