 1) SELECT SBAS PROVIDER
Choose the appropriate SBAS provider for world region
WAAS = North America
EGNOS = Europe
MSAS = Japan

1) Press IDX  GNSS Control

2) Choose SELECT SBAS (R5)
3) Press left line select key to Enable the desired provider

If appropriate provider is not chosen, a “CHK SBAS SVC PRVDR” message will
appear on the CDU message line when loading an LPV approach.

If no SBAS providers are chosen, the FMS will not use augmented signals.

2) LOAD LPV APPROACH

Procedures for loading an LPV approach are the same as loading a non-LPV
approach.

1) Confirm desired airport is in ORIGIN or DESTination on the active flight plan

page
2) Choose an APPRoach, and the desired transition (VECTOR is always
default)
3) “WAAS LPV” is displayed at R5
a) In Europe, “EGNOS LPV”
b) In Japan, “MSAS LPV”
c) This label only indicates the selected approach has an LPV minimum
published. It is NOT real-time display of system capability.
4) Verify LEGS page or MFD MAP to ensure proper information
5) EXECute after confirmation

 The PFD will display “LPV TERM” in white when within 31nm of the desired
airport.
The PFD will display “LPV APPR” in green after passing the Final Approach
Course Fix (FACF) if the SBAS system is operational.

Baro-VNAV is used up until LPV APPR is annunciated at which time GPS

corrected VNAV (LPV VNAV) will be used for the remainder of the approach. A
slight jump in the vertical deviation indicator may be noticeable during this
transition.

Baro-VNAV temperature restrictions do NOT apply to LPV VNAV.

3) FAILURE OF SBAS DURING LPV APPROACH

The following procedures assume only the SBAS system has failed. The GPS
system is still operating normally.

RAIM prediction and RAIM checking will automatically be used by the FMS as in
non-SBAS units.

If the whole GPS system fails then a non-GPS approach would have to be flown
as per AFM or AFM supplement guidance (See item 8 of this handout).

Inside 31nm to airport but prior to FAF

1) These messages will appear on the CDU:
a) “LPV NOT AVAILABLE”
b) Also, if LNAV minimums are published “USE LNAV MINIMUM”
2) If LNAV minimums are published, this message will appear on the MFD:
a) “USE LNAV MINIMUM”
3) An amber MSG will flash on the PFD
4) The VNAV deviation will have a red VNV flag with the deviation indicator
removed
5) Aircraft can be descended with non-VNAV (VS, FLC, etc.) modes to the
LNAV minimum
OR

 5) Aircraft can be descended using VNAV with manual selections
a) Press DEP / ARR  ARR DATA or
i) Press IDX  page 2  ARR DATA
b) Choose BARO (L4) as the APPR VNAV GP
c) EXECute VNAV change
d) Verify VNAV indications have returned on the PFD
e) Use baro-VNAV to descend to appropriate minimums (LNAV / VNAV or
LNAV)

The PFD will display “TERM” in white when within 31nm of the desired airport.

The PFD will display “GPS APPR” in green when within 2nm of the FAF.

Inside the FAF

1) These messages will appear on the CDU:
a) “LPV NOT AVAILABLE”
b) Also, if LNAV minimums are published “USE LNAV MINIMUM”
2) If LNAV minimums are published, this message will appear on the MFD:
a) “USE LNAV MINIMUM”
3) An amber MSG will flash on the PFD
4) The VNAV deviation will have a red VNV flag with the deviation indicator
removed
5) Depending on aircraft altitude, aircraft may be descended with non-VNAV
(VS, FLC, etc.) modes to the LNAV minimum
OR
5) Execute published missed approach

Selections back to baro-VNAV guidance are NOT allowed inside the FAF.

 4) LOAD LNAV / VNAV OR LNAV APPROACH

1) Confirm desired airport is in ORIGIN or DESTination on the active flight plan

page
2) Choose an APPRoach, and the desired transition (VECTOR is always
default)
3) “GNSS BARO” is displayed at R5
a) This label only indicates the selected approach will be using baro-VNAV.
It is NOT real-time display of system capability.
4) Verify LEGS page or MFD MAP to ensure proper information
5) EXECute after confirmation

The PFD will display “TERM” in white when within 31nm of the desired airport.

The PFD will display “GPS APPR” in green when within 2nm of the FAF.

Baro-VNAV is used for the entire procedure.

Baro-VNAV temperature restrictions apply to LNAV / VNAV minimums.

5) FAILURE OF SBAS DURING LNAV / VNAV APPROACH

No messages will appear if the SBAS signal fails during an LNAV / VNAV or
LNAV approach provided the navigation integrity from the GPS remains within
limits.

RAIM prediction and RAIM checking will automatically be used by the FMS as in
non-SBAS units.

Inside 31nm to airport

1) If RAIM is insufficient for the approach this message will appear on the CDU
a) “NO NPA RAIM”
2) An amber MSG will flash on the PFD
3) Accomplish a non-GPS approach as per AFM or AFM supplement

 6) LOAD LNAV / VNAV APPROACH WITH WAAS (RARE)
The following images and information are available in the Collins FMS but no
procedures have been designed, as of this printing, by the FAA.

1) Confirm desired airport is in ORIGIN or DESTination on the active flight plan

page
2) Choose an APPRoach, and the desired transition (VECTOR is always
default)
3) “SBAS L/V” is displayed at R5
a) This label only indicates the selected approach will be using SBAS VNAV.
It is NOT real-time display of system capability.
4) Verify LEGS page or MFD MAP to ensure proper information
5) EXECute after confirmation

The FMS will use any available SBAS provider for lateral navigation.

The PFD will display “L/V TERM” in white when within 31nm of the desired
airport.

The PFD will display “L/V APPR” in green when within 2nm of the FAF.

The FMS will use baro-VNAV until the FACF and then transition to SBAS VNAV
just like LPV approaches.

Baro-VNAV temperature restrictions do not apply when using SBAS VNAV.

For failure of SBAS integrity, see the LPV approach section.

7) LOAD NON-GPS APPROACH

1) Confirm desired airport is in ORIGIN or DESTination on the active flight plan

page
2) Choose an APPRoach, and the desired transition (VECTOR is always
default)
3) “BARO” is displayed at R5
a) This label only indicates the selected approach will be using baro-VNAV.
It is NOT real-time display of system capability.
4) Verify LEGS page or MFD MAP to ensure proper information
5) EXECute after confirmation

A “NO APPR” label will appear on the PFD.

An “APPR FOR REF ONLY” will appear on the CDU.

Verify AFM or AFM supplement limitations for navigation guidance requirements.

 8) NAVIGATION INTEGRITY

If the navigation integrity falls outside of tolerance for the phase of flight (enroute
or terminal) a message will be displayed on the CDU and PFD. This message is
a total FMS integrity message and will appear whether SBAS is being received
or not.

1) A “LOSS OF INTEGRITY” message will appear on the CDU

2) A “LOI” or “LOI TERM” will appear on the PFD depending on the 31nm
distance from the airport
3) Use another source of navigation

9) RAIM PREDICTION
RAIM prediction will only be necessary when outside the coverage of SBAS or
during SBAS NOTAM’s indicating an outage of signal integrity.

1) Press IDX  GNSS CONTROL

2) Choose NPA RAIM (L5)
3) Destination airport will automatically be filled with flight plan destination
airport
4) Enter satellites that have been NOTAM’d out of service in the deselect option
in L3
5) The ETA will automatically be filled when inflight or it can be manually
entered in R2 (i.e. when still on the ground)

These are the possible outcomes of approach RAIM prediction:

AVAILABLE
UNAVAILABLE
REQ PENDING
