Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) from Fokker Services
Overview
Introduction
LPV, short for Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance, enables flight crews to fly an approach similar to the ILS CAT 1 minima, with the benefit of not requiring ground-based landing aids. Instead, a LPV approach makes use of a Space-Based Augmentation System known as SBAS.
The Space-Based Augmentation System is available in several high traffic regions in the world, including WAAS (U.S.) and EGNOS (Europe). As of December 2020, all instrument runways ending with a non-precision approach (NPA) within Europe must have an approach based on LNAV/VNAV or LPV.
