A work item that had been on top of our priority but couldn’t be addressed for a long time due to availability of required LRUs has finally been completed: the addition of WAAS improves overall GPS NAV precision, and enables several IFR approach types the plane could not provide before, such as close to five thousand (!) LPV and LP approaches requiring WAAS.
Additionally, LNAV/VNAV approaches are now enabled, and many LNAV approaches will now show as LNAV+V where the calculated vertical guidance lets you fly to the MDA without the “dive and drive” method.
You will see in the G1000 FMS under PROC exactly which approaches you can now fly.
Furthermore, the slightly newer version of the system software (370.23) now also enables FIS-B WX overlay – so you can choose anytime between XM WX and FIS-B WX data link in the Weather Map options.
Happy Twin flying!
