Anyone made a WAAS GPS Apch. yet?

[corytx]

Just noticed that the Galveston, TX GPS 13 has WAAS now. Looks like the minimums with vertical guidance are 50' higher than the ILS. Has anyone been able to make a GPS with vertical guidance approach yet?

How cool... can anyone point me to an approach plate for that?

LOL No, but now that you mention it, it does kind of look that way.

Besides, if you had a girl like that across the bed from you, would you let something like that really bother you??

Not with the lights off

Danka Sir... so let make sure I understand this correctly, a WAAS approach is a GPS approach that provides both horizontal and vertical guidance correct?

Do you have to have a special VOR receiver in your aircraft for this?

Check out AIM 1-1-21.

Here is some good info on it (I would copy and paste, but it is too much).

Do it all the time. Works great.

we don't do waas approaches but the FMS in the Lear does allow us to fly the Lnav/Vnav approaches it looks just like an ILS just higher mins.

You're looking at her eyes? Kinda looks like Britney Spears tho.

Yeah, I've been shooting the LNAV/VNAV's quite a bit. Nice to see some WAAS installations coming out, to get a bit lower.

Carlsbad & Ontario are the only precision GPS approaches around here. I've done them many times.

Most of the time they work great, most of the time ATC is cooperative in letting us get to them, and most of the time the mins are lower than the LNAV/VNAV non-precision approaches.

Fly SAFE!
