Default LPV vs LNAV/VNAV?

Both of these options require a WAAS receiver, I presume?


Yes, and if WAAS is not available to the standards required by the specs
then the 146 box will not accept the WAAS solution, which means (using
Garmin as an example) LPV, L/VNAV, and LNAV+V will not be available;
only LNAV will be available.



I don't think so. A TSO C129a GPS driving a FMS with baro VNAV should be able to fly RNAV(GPS)
approaches using LNAV/VNAV minimums. No WAAS involved.

That has been true for a long time. The context of the recent
discussions in this forum have been about TSO C-146 (RTCA DO-229C).
