A particular GNSS RNP APCH chart for a runway has two types of published minima, LNAV and LP. Which of the following options accurately describes the minima?
  • A

    There is NO difference as both use GNSS as reference throughout the procedure and the pilot may choose the lowest minima.

  • B
    The LP minima are based on Localiser Performance requiring equipment beyond a standard GNSS receiver in the aircraft.
  • C
    The LP minima apply to a 3D precision approach with both horizontal and vertical guidance, similar to VNAV.
  • D
    The LNAV minima are based on horizontal and vertical guidance being provided on board the aircraft.

LNAV – Lateral Navigation. The minima line on a chart for RNP approach without vertical guidance which does not require the use of SBAS.

LPLocaliser Performance: The minima line on a chart for RNP approach without vertical guidance which requires the use of SBAS. At some airports, it may not be possible to meet the requirements to publish an approach procedure to LPV minima. This may be due to: obstacles and terrain along the desired final approach path, airport infrastructure deficiencies, or the inability of SBAS to provide the desired availability of vertical guidance (i.e., an airport located on the fringe of the SBAS service area). When this occurs, a State may provide an RNP Approach to LP minima; an approach procedure with angular lateral guidance equivalent to a localizer approach, with lower minima than an RNP Approach to LNAV minima.
