Garmin GNS430 & 530 versus 430W/530W (and approach coding)

Great clarification NCYankee!

But a bit un-user friendly to have to dive into the FAS Data Block to know which system minima to apply.

LPV-200 approach at Budpest

RocketRoute link to the approach plate

My highlight of what to check do know if it is 250ft or 200ft.

In the US, the VAL does not set the DH, the DH sets the VAL. A VAL of 35 meters is used for a DH between 200 and 249 feet.

It is obviously an LPV200 as the OCH on the 4% MACG LPV is below 200ft. Another classic messy European set of OCHs…

On reflection maybe not – apologies Anders. So with LPV in Europe you can’t tell the DH in the cockpit as you can’t know whether it has a 200 or 250 system minima. How idiotic.
