IFR GNSS Approaches with Vertical Guidance

[Vitek]

Not sure it this is what you are looking for . Australia has had point in space approaches for EMS operations for about 15 years. The Lithgow approach goes to the bottom of a valley then you follow the road around the corner to the pad. Check the MDA and the pad elevation.

Thanks!

Although I was looking for LPV-type approaches with pretty low minimums.

Yep, Airbus Helicopters (EDPR) in Germany has one...(LPV approach)

here you go (sorry on my phone so can't extract the specific pages)

And I found the specific chart for the Eurocopter facility - https://fly.rocketroute.com/plates/a...8783&icao=EDPR

Still I am very surprised that these types of approaches aren't that common with helicopters. I mean there are not that many costs associated with setting up such an approach. There is no insanely expensive equipment to install on the field.

There are plenty of such approaches to many god-forsaken airfields in the middle of nowhere for aeroplanes, anyone have an idea why it isn't so popular with you guys?
