Note:  1880 is the decision altitude for an LNAV/VNAV approach or an approach with both lateral and vertical navigation --- that requires a WAAS GPS approach receiver and the 430/530 are not currently WAAS certified.   Similarly 1810 is the decision altitude for an LPV approach (lateral precision with vertical guidance) -- an LPV approach also requires a WAAS GPS receceiver. ____________________ Richard Kaplan, CFII rkaplan@flyimc.com http://www.flyimc.com  Current time is 06:23 am
