Thanks AerocatS2A.

I reread the BEA report about the Airhub Airlines 9H-EMU incident.
I wanted to know if, in all cases, the control was spelling all 4 digits separately.
In my opinion, the language should not make any difference when spelling the digits separately.
Unfortunately, the report was not specific about this point.

Another puzzling point (for me) is that the approach was not flown as an LPV-RNP approach.
I checked the charts for LFPG and, of course, an LPV approach is available for runway 27R.
I then noticed that the chapter 2.3 of the report states that "the aircraft was not equipped to perform RNP (LPV) approaches,"
How is it possible?
Is that because this A320 plane is older than the EGNOS start of operation on October 1st 2009?
Has there been no mandatory update of the GPS receivers for CAT operation in the 13 years that EGNOS has been active and in the 20 years of WAAS?
