The point of including the plates, was not the 3 degree GPA, but public RNP AR designed by a 3rd party....and of course, these are procedures that I had designed. I will also explain, that in designing procedures in AUS, NZ, Canada, China, and South America, with Boeing, Airbus, Embraer aircraft, I am well versed in the performance specs and the standards, and individual requirements for tailored RNP approaches.

So, on that note, as the PASC plates are FAA public procedures, (RW23 has no ILS)the GPA is 3 degrees for uncompensated, correct, as you pointed out, so what is your effective GPA at -24? or at 32 ?
So the same procedure, assumes the aircraft is on a GPA anywhere from 2.6 to 3.2?

So, the operative word is 'uncompensated', and therein lies the trick....

(at PASC,-24 NA gives you access about 25% of the year. 2 operators have the identical procedure approved, with a 3.5 GPA, which is good from -50 to -25)
