10. Çanakkale VOR procedure (source: DHMI) Çanakkale LPV procedure (source: Pildo Labs) 10 Design of LPV in Çanakkale (VI) CURRENT PUBLISHED NPA (VOR) PROCEDUREPROPOSED LPV APPROACH PROCEDURE  Compared to current NPA published procedures in Çanakkale, LPV offers:  Vertical guidance allowing continuous descent profile —Benefits in terms of engine noise and pollution  Reduction in the operational minima of more than 900 ft (~270 metres)  Independence from ground navaids

11. 11 METIS Workshop Benefits of EGNOS in Civil Aviation, Istanbul 18 November 2009 Database coding process  LPV procedure is defined by a Final Approach Segment Data Block (FAS DB) with a Channel Number identifier:  The FAS DB is a set of parameters to identify a single LPV during the coding and define its associated approach path (including a CRC reminder)  The Channel Number consists on 5 numeric characters in the range 40000 to 99999 to identify an individual approach during operation  This data is provided to database coders (Jeppesen) to insert it in their systems  Receiver manufacturers (Garmin) build the receiver’s database
