Overlay approach criteria is based on the design criteria used for ground-based NAVAID approaches. (b) Stand-alone approach procedures specifically designed for GPS systems have replaced many of the original overlay approaches. All approaches that contain ... RNAV (GPS) RWY 24”) can be flown using GPS. GPS-equipped aircraft do not need underlying ground-based NAVAIDs or associated aircraft avionics to fly the approach. Monitoring the underlying approach with ground-based NAVAIDs is suggested when able. Existing…

Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Landing System (GLS) a. A GBAS ground installation at an airport can provide localized, differential augmentation to the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal-in-space enabling an aircraft’s GLS precision approach capability. Through ... with international terminology, the FAA will use the term GBAS in place of the former term Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS). b. An aircraft’s GLS approach capability relies on the broadcast from a GBAS Ground Facility (GGF) installation…
