Well, it’s confusing if you read the box note on the posted POH print screen, it clearly states it’s not approved.
BTW, what’s this EGNOS channel supposed to be. never seens this on a normal RNAV (GNSS) approach plate
Simply said: LPV in Europe requires EGNOS. It’s the European WAAS

No. RNP is not just another name for GPS. It is a slightly different tech.

It is a number that uniquely defines an approach based on SBAS. It provides an alternative means of selecting an approach by using this number rather than by selecting the airport identifier and approach – runway identifier. Here in the US, a WAAS approach will always have the channel number on the approach chart for any approach that has LPV or LP minimums. If you know how to use the number to select the approach, it can be a short cut, especially when practicing approaches at multiple airports in the same vicinity.
Stephan understood but on my Zurich RNAV (GNSS) RWY 14 plate there is no EGNOS channel reference why does it appear on the RNP plate? What am I supposed to do with this info?
NCY, thanks would you know how to dial in the approach using this number?

How exactly does the technology differ?

Yes :)
On the GNS530W, press PROC, Select Approach, enter, Menu, Select Approach Chnl?, Enter, enter the number, Enter.
