ifr navigationFAA-published sample question (ATM, Aug 2021)
To conduct an RNAV (GPS) approach to LPV minimums, the aircraft must be furnished with
A
a GPS/WAAS receiver approved for an LPV approach by the AFM.✓ Correct Answer
B
a GPS (TSO-C129) receiver certified for IFR operations.
C
an IFR approach-certified system with required navigation performance (RNP) of 0.5.
Explanation
LPV minima require a WAAS-capable GPS receiver approved for LPV approaches in the airplane flight manual or supplement (AIM 1-1-18). A TSO-C129 (non-WAAS) receiver can fly only LNAV, and RNP 0.5 is not the LPV requirement.
