FO Cokebottle's completely incorrect GLS/GBAS assertion

@ Cokebottle. Your assertion reference RNP and GLS/GBAS, that "GLS does not provide rollout guidance", is completely false and incorrect. GLS provides outstanding rollout guidance, over the full runway, from and for ANY approach direction, including for any runway that would be applicable at VNKT. It (GBAS) also as well provides an extremely accurate positioning signal to assist in providing very low RNP values for missed approach (e.g., RNP.003) for the initial missed approach segment, until the path returns to using some higher but still adequate RNP level (e.g., RNP .1) as needed. Further, Wikipedia is not the appropriate place to be finding key modern aviation criteria. Instead, try sources like AC120-28D Table 4.5.1-1, and similar provisions. LPV and SBAS remain an obsolete, virtually useless waste of money, in this kind of global air-transport environment, needing RNP paths to a short FAS, able to benefit from LAND3/AIII (or Airbus equivalent) AFDS modes.
