The first European LPV-200 IFR approach was implemented at Charles de Gaulle Airport’s Runway 26L on Tuesday, following publication of the procedure on April 28. The new approach mirrors Cat I ILS approach minimums, including a 200-foot decision height, and it is supported by the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (Egnos), Europe’s satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS). The approach was flown yesterday by pilots aboard a Dassault Falcon 2000XLS, an ATR 42-600 and an Airbus A350.
