Subject: Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and Localizer
Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Approach Capability
Distribution: Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker Operators
Date: April 28, 2015
Revision: 2
Note: Changes since the last version of this document (Rev 1 – Feb 4, 2015) are highlighted.
Definitions
Area Navigation (RNAV) – A method of airborne navigation that permits aircraft to operate on any
desired flight path (i.e., not just directly from ground-based navaid to ground-based navaid) within the
coverage of suitable (typically satellite-based) navigation systems.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) – Generic term for a system that provides satellite-based
navigation services for aircraft, such as GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia), and Galileo (planned system for
Europe).
Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) – A system that corrects GNSS navigation signals for regional
atmospheric variations in order to further refine an aircraft’s navigation accuracy, both laterally and
vertically. Examples of SBAS systems include the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) in the
US/North America as well as the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS).
Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV) – Generic term for RNAV (GPS) instrument approaches that
provide a constant angle of descent to the runway. Vertical flight path guidance may be based upon
either barometric altitude or SBAS-enhanced GNSS signals. LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches fall within
the APV category.
LNAV Approach – A traditional, non-precision RNAV (GPS) “step-down” approach. The minimum
descent altitude (MDA) is found on the approach chart’s LNAV line of minima. This type of approach
uses GNSS for lateral guidance and barometric altitude for vertical guidance to each descent altitude.
(See Figure 1.)
LNAV/VNAV Approach – A non-precision RNAV (GPS) approach that uses GNSS for lateral position and
provides a constant angle of descent to the runway based upon barometric altimetry. The Decision
Altitude (DA) is found on the approach chart’s LNAV/VNAV line of minima. In the United States,
LNAV/VNAV approaches require GNSS signal coverage and accurate barometric altimetry, but SBAS
capability is not required. (See Figure 1.)
Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Approach – A non-precision RNAV (GPS) approach
that provides a constant angle of descent to the runway based upon SBAS signals. The decision altitude
is found on the approach chart’s LPV line of minima. Minima for an LPV approach are typically
equivalent or similar to those of an ILS approach. An approved SBAS-capable avionics system is required
in order to conduct this type of approach. (See Figure 1.)

Localizer Performance (LP) Approach – A more recent type of non-precision RNAV (GPS) “step-down”
approach. The MDA is found on the approach chart’s LP line of minima. This type of approach is very
similar to a localizer-only approach, but an approved SBAS-capable avionics system with the appropriate
capabilities is required. Barometric altitude is used for vertical guidance to each descent altitude. The
MDA for this type of approach will typically be at least somewhat lower than that of an LNAV approach.
(See Figure 2.)

Background
In the past, the capability to provide smooth, stable vertical approach path guidance to a relatively low
Decision Altitude (DA) – e.g., 200 ft AGL – has been the exclusive domain of expensive, ground-based
landing systems. Until more recently, traditional GPS approaches had required a series of “step-down”
altitudes to a Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA). LNAV/VNAV and LPV approach capabilities have
changed this situation, offering ILS-like vertical guidance without requiring the installation or
maintenance of expensive ILS systems at airports. Available LPV approaches in the United States’
National Airspace System now outnumber ILS approaches by a ratio that is rapidly approaching three-toone (3500 LPV vs. 1300 ILS).
Key Benefits
• Simplified approach procedures and improved safety resulting from a constant angle of descent
to the runway (LNAV/VNAV and LPV approaches).
• Significantly lower approach minima for LPV approaches compared with traditional LNAV-only
approaches.
• Better access to airports and runways that do not have ILS systems installed but which have
published LPV approaches.
Equipment Requirements
The following equipment must be installed, certified, and approved in order for an aircraft to conduct
LPV approaches:
• SBAS/GNSS receiver(s)
• Avionics and Flight Management System(s) capable of conducting LPV approaches
• Capability to provide the required Level-of-Service (LOS) indications to the flight crew, indicating
whether an LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LP, or LNAV-only approach may be conducted based upon current
SBAS/GNSS signal reception.
• Note: With recent SBAS LPV certification efforts, the FAA and EASA have begun to require
“below glidepath” alerting capability for LPV approaches, if the aircraft in question is
equipped with a Class A Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS) that provides glideslope
deviation alerting during ILS approaches. See paragraph 14-6.7 in FAA Advisory Circular AC 20138C (link below).
Regulatory Status
• There are no worldwide or regional mandates for SBAS capability, per se. However, for practical
reasons, SBAS GNSS receiver capability (with or without LPV approach capability) is generally
necessary to support ADS-B Out capability, which will be mandatory in much of the world by
2020. The reasons for this are addressed in the Technology Briefing entitled “SBAS GPS
Receivers and ADS-B Out Capability.”
Compliance Status of Citation, Beechcraft, and Hawker Aircraft
Refer to Tables 1, 2, and 3 beginning on page 6 for information regarding the status of Citation,
Beechcraft, and Hawker aircraft with respect to the availability of suitable SBAS LPV-capable FMS and
avionics systems.
Note: Because WAAS/SBAS and LPV approaches were originally available only in the United States,
the Approved Flight Manuals (AFMs) or AFM supplements for a number of aircraft models listed in the
tables still include limitations stating that LPV approaches are not approved outside the United States
(or similar restrictions). These restrictions are noted in summary form in the Remarks column of the
Page 4 of 16
tables. Cessna, Beechcraft, and Hawker have begun efforts to address these restrictions, now that
SBAS LPV approaches are available in other regions besides the United States, such as Canada and
Europe.

• AFM Supplement 25 (FMS) generically references GNSS and SBAS. It also
references EASA AMC 20-27, but it does not reference AMC 20-28.
• Supplement contains a limitation that states, “IFR approach approval is
limited to published approaches within the U.S. National Airspace System.
Approaches to airports in other airspace are not approved unless authorized
by the appropriate governing authority.”
• AFM Supplement 9 (EASA Certified Airplanes) states the following limitation:
“The minimum decision altitude for an SBAS LPV approach is 250 feet AGL or
that specified in the procedure, whichever is higher.” This limitation is due to
the lack of a “below glidepath” alert for LPV approaches.
• Currently this upgrade is available only for Citation X aircraft registered in
the United States that do not have winglets installed. Future upgrades will
enable SBAS LPV capability on aircraft registered in EASA member states as
well as on aircraft with winglets installed pending completion of the
corresponding follow-on certification efforts.
• AFM Supplement 44 (FMS 6.1) generically references GNSS and SBAS and
also references EASA AMC 20-27 as well as AMC 20-28.
• “Below glidepath” alert capability is included with SB750-34-59.
Notes:
1. The above schedule estimates are provided for informational purposes and are based on the best available information as of the date shown at the beginning of this briefing. Schedules
are subject to change.
2. Cessna does not currently have specific plans for other out-of-production models not shown in the table above. We will evaluate potential solutions for such models as we are able. It may
be impractical for Cessna to develop SBAS solutions for some models.

Other States Associated to EASA:
• Approaches using LPV are approved in accordance with NPA 2009-04 (AMC
20-28). The Premier 1A aircraft with Pro Line 21 installed has been
evaluated and approved in accordance with NPA 2009-04 (AMC 20-28) with
the following limitations:
• APV I LPV approaches are limited to a 250 ft minima, if TAWS A is
installed.
• TAWS A must be operational when conducting APV I LPV approaches.
• APV II LPV approaches are not allowed.
*Note: This STC is currently validated in the US only. The effort to obtain EASA
validation is underway, but the outcome may depend upon several factors, including
eligibility for LPV in the absence of “below glidepath” alert capability.
