G-450 Procedures & Techniques

RNAV (GPS) Approach
In General
The RNAV(GPS) approach will soon be if it isn't already the most popular approach in
the world. If you find one with LPV (lpv.html) minimums, you've got it made. Refer to RNAV
(GPS) (rnav(gps).html) for help with approach selection.

G-450 Operational Approval

[G-450 OM 1-34-30 2.] Approaches Permitted: FMS is approved for conducting instrument
approaches, including lateral and vertical Flight Director / Autopilot coupled approaches,
under the following conditions:
A. Conditions for Approval:
1. One of the following published approach procedures is used:
RNAV (GPS)
RNAV (RNP)
VOR
VOR/DME
VOR/DME RNAV
NDB
GPS
TACAN
2. For airplanes having ASC 059B (or later approved revision), RNAV (GPS)
approaches can be executed to LPV minima. When loading a RNAV (GPS)
approach with LPV minima into the FMS, either graphically or via the MCDU, the
FMS will default to the LPV criteria. Removing the LPV criteria from the FMS in
order to perform the approach using LNAV or LNAV/VNAV minima can be done
only on the MCDU. With the LPV mode captured, it is recommended that
transition to LNAV minima or a go-around be performed if the amber LPV
Unavailable caution CAS message appears.
NOTE: EGPWS Mode 6 must be operable and the associated audio callouts not
inhibited when performing RNAV (GPS) approaches to LPV minima.

G-450 Basic Procedures

Approach Category
If you have ASC 007 you are a Category C airplane unless you have a maintenance logbook
entry raising your maximum landing weight. If you do not have ASC 007, you are a Category
D airplane, end of discussion. See G-450 Approach Category

Selection

[G-450 OM 2B-27-90] Approach selection is made either through the MCDU (NAV > ARRIVAL)
or the NAV display.

RNAV (GPS) Approaches

If the RNAV (GPS) approach includes LNAV/VNAV minimums, you can use the APCH mode of
the FMS. If LNAV/VNAV minimums are not included, you can still use the APCH mode, but it
will be up to you to honor the MDA as a hard altitude. Once cleared the approach, set the
FAF altitude in the altitude selector window. Once inbound to the FAF, selecct APCH and
set the missed approach altitude.
Guidance panel operation will have a major impact on FMS and autopilot performance
during the approach...

Do not Preview a course if planning an RNAV approach; the approach will not arm
correctly and may instead attempt to intercept the raw data represented by the previewed
course.

KSAV RNAV (GPS) Rwy 10 Example

Cleared to TILEE Set altitude preselect to 2600' and select LNAV/VNAV

Once level at 2600' on course
If flying to MDA, set altitude preselect to MDA; you want the system to honor the MDA
If flying to DA, set altitude preselect to FAF altitude (2000'); you don't want to go beyond
the FAF unless the system goes to approach mode

If flying to DA: when the FAF goes magenta (becomes the to waypoint) and once APP
