If so, what was your impression?

I'm still working on getting my wife to allow me to buy the Eclipse.
I'm wondering if the plane will be treated more like a Citation or a GA
plane. In otherwords, if some high end FBOs will rent them. There are
certainly a lot of skeptics who say "humbug" to anything, but with
proper training (Flight Safety perhaps) maybe I could see an FBO being
able to provide that. With the amount of traveling I do (maybe one 500+
file trip every 2 months) rental would probably make more sense.

Were you thinking an LPV is an aircraft type? I think Sam meant the
approach type Localizer Precision with Vertical Guidance.

I have a GNS480 but haven't yet flown an LPV approach. There's one shown
in the NACO charts at nearby LHZ, but it's not in the Jeppesen database
(yes, I have version 2.1 of the software). Jeppesen and NACO are
apparently in a ****ing contest about whether the approach is real.
Jeppesen says the LPV approach at LHZ is restricted to authorized users,
NACO says anybody can use it.
