This would eliminate a LOT of the clearance restrictions on existing approaches. WAAS has nothing to do with RF legs (curved approach paths). RF legs are a leg computation done by an RNAV/LNAV platform. WAAS is an augmentation scheme for GPS. RF legs are independent of the nav sensor, although GPS is presently the preferred sensor for RNAV/LNAV. So, there is no reason that a TSO-C146 (WAAS/LPV) couldn't do RF legs with, or without, WAAS and or LPV. Having said that, I haven't heard of any proposed implementation along those lines for WAAS and LPV. |
