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.


And I can attest to that, Sam, because I've experienced having an
LNAV/VNAV approach "Downgraded to LNAV" only.
I couldn't take the time just then to check the SV reception page,
to see if the problem might have been explained there.
