Thanks guys, so there does seem to be an option. I just find it curious that more airlines don't utilize it, because it seems more cost effective (at least from a training standpoint) to utilize LPV approaches.

KJFK 22L is a pretty typical example. LPV mins are 270/2400RVR, RNP 0.2 mins are 317/4000.

It seems odd that a C172 pilot can hand fly to lower mins than the 777 crew that (presumably) has to use FD and AP.
