I really don't want to get into the middle of this discussion, but what do you think the ratio of installed WAAS nav systems to enroute/approach GPS/RNAV systems is currently? 1 in 10? 1 in 100? 1 in 1000? Do you need WAAS to fly a stand-alone GPS approach? Do you need "conventional" nav gear present to fly a stand-alone GPS/RNAV approach? For that matter, how does one determine if installed equipment meets the requirements for a stand-alone GPS/RNAV approach? TC

Jay B Kewl chart, plus it sorta indicates what I am thinking. They don't even have a listing for GPS/precision approach equipment. There are GPS RNAV/LNAV systems in service, and even a few GPS RNAV/LNAV/VNAV systems in service, but currently not a lot of WAAS systems. TC
