I have to take you to task. How can you fly a GPS approach to minimums when you remain at 2000 ft? I cannot believe that you really meant to say that.

I have been flying GPS approaches within the CAA GPS trials procedures for a couple of weeks now and I have to say that it has been going pretty well. I have an interest in this for I am a recently retired professional pilot with more hours than I would care to remember but I would like to have GPS approaches approved if I need them in the future to keep my bum out of the hot butter.

My local airfield is well up to speed and when I call them before flight to warn them of my desire to conduct GPS approaches, the first question I get is, "What is your PRN Number"?

Without that you are picking your nose with boxing gloves!

Why don't you try and register if it is that important to you?
