Take the mystery out of WAAS approaches

By Janice Wood · February 13, 2009 ·

Sporty’s newest video, “WAAS Approaches,” simplifies the technology and demonstrates how to fly several different types of WAAS approaches on the Garmin G1000 and the Garmin 430W/530W.

“WAAS Approaches” gives pilots the knowledge and practical skills necessary to fly these GPS procedures with confidence, Sporty’s officials promise. Topics such as the difference between LNAV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV+V and LPV approaches are covered, and pilots will see how they provide ILS-like glidepaths.

Price: $29.95. It also is available as two separate online downloads, one using the Garmin G1000 and one using the Garmin 430W/530W, for $9.95 each.
