one wouldn’t think so - you have ATS approval to conduct the approach but no clearance to enter controlled airspace. For an LNAV only approach it’s pilots choice to get permission to re-enter and leave or dive’n’drive. If it were +VNAV and the profile was going to fly you through CTA then the chart would(should?) be very clear that a clearance was required.
I’m a little confused by this thread - I would never expect a G1000 or other system to keep me clear of controlled airspace - only to fly the approach appropriately (I.e to the manufacturers specs as alfacentauri explained). How can your FMC know what clearances you have or don’t have?
