Standalone GPS

To keep me from looking at every approach plate PDF in the country for some
research I am doing, would you folks give me some examples of standalone
(not RNAV(GPS)) approaches in your areas of operation?

Thanks.

Randall Field (06N) in upstate NY has GPS RWY 08 and 26 approaches.

I'm not sure if this counts as standalone, but Old Bridge, NJ (3N6) has the
VOR OR GPS RWY 24 approach, but it is not RNAV(GPS)...

Groton, CT (GON) has GPS RWY 33 and VOR OR GPS RWY 05 and 23 approaches.

Those are a few that stick out from my mind.

What's the hypothesis you are researching, if you don't mind my asking?

There are two others at Eugene, also. Hope this is what you're looking for?

I thought they changed the name of GPS approaches to RNAV a year or so ago.

Farmingdale (KFRG) has three:
GPS RWY 1
GPS RWY 19
GPS RWY 14

GPS RWY 14 may be of interest since that runway also has an ILS for
comparison.

Nope. Look at a list of approaches for some airports and you will see both
"GPS Rwy 16" and "RNAV(GPS) Rwy 16." My area of interest was the minimums
box, since the ones I ran across when just guessing usually had only
circling approaches. Thought that the approach to Frederick, MD, that Phil
Boyer used in the AOPA video on WAAS would have something other than
circling, but I was wrong.

Bob, take a look at the Salem GPS/WAAS approach.

Also, there are GPS approaches to both runways at Tacoma Narrows.

Several of you asked what I was looking for, and the answer lies in the
minimums box. The AIM goes on at great length about GLS, LPV, VNAV/LNAV,
etc, but the standalone approaches that you have suggested and I have
checked out have straight in and circling minimums, period. I realize that
there may be approaches in areas of the country from which I received no
replies.

I'm not going to lose sleep over the fact that most of the plates in THE
COMPLETE ADVANCED PILOT do not have the minimums boxes discussed in the AIM.

Bob, the plates for Bellingham and Salem do indeed have the minimums boxes
you describe.
