Default Flying Mag Clueless about LPV and NACO

I've always wondered how much NACO would be able to copy Jeppesen (i.e. the
Briefing Strip) and not get sued for copyright infringement

The briefing strip came about as a result of a government study (Volpe,
DOT). So, that wasn't invented by Jeppesen.


If you'll be at 5,100 feet at KANEC, then (again in my opinion) the visual
depiction of a "glideslope" intersecting the waypoint at 3,800 feet is
misleading. I realize the G/S intersect at JABEL will be subject to
altimeter error which is why I made sure to qualify it with "or close to
it."

No, I said the G/S would be 5,100 at KANEC, but in my example coming
from the north the airplane was at 3,800, thus the intercept 4 miles
west of KANEC.
