Default LPV Coming to Town

[After rereading this post originally posted in .OWNING, I realized it
really belongs in the .IFR group]

Damn. I thought I'd be good for a couple of years on not spending the
$1,700+ on the Garmin 430 WAAS upgrade. Now the airport mgmt at my homebase
(KFRG) says that we're on the fast-track to get not one but two LPV
approaches with one being to a runway with no current approaches. Should be
getting it by early-mid '08 but we'll see. Bittersweet nonetheless.

Curiously, it does not show up on the FAA's IAP Status website
(http://avn.faa.gov/acifp.asp). Anyone ever track the progress of a
procedure via this site? Is the LPV in question really not close to becoming
a reality unless it shows up on this site?
