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?
Agree with
alphacentauri , though I'm in the same geographical area so might have the same location bias. My employer's A320 fleet has LPV capability (GLS) on some aircraft but not all. As said above it is an option.
