Default LPV only?

John, thanks. Your links were quite useful. As it turns out there are (as of
the August report) some 516 LPV approaches to runways without an ILS and 295 to
airports with no ILS at all.

I am pleasantly supprised that the WAAS approachs are moving along.


ISTR they had stepped up production in the last couple years, and are
now cranking 'em (all types of WAAS approaches) out at a average rate
of around 100 per cycle.

Thanks again,

Doug


It's worth pointing out that AVN may update the site at some point to
distinguish between the existing LPV (250ft. DH) and a newer type of
procedure (LPV-200) which is on the horizon. Also, it's my
understanding that, in some cases, there may be a mix of the two
procedures at some airports (for example, LPV on one runway end,
LPV-200 on another).

Jon
