Ok looking for some help on these challenging approach plates. I'm not used to seeing these kinds of approaches where I'm from. Lot's of questions in this post.
KSMO - http://airnav.com/airport/KSMO
What is an RNP approach?
Maybe the aircraft I fly equipped with non wass garmin 430 - G1000 are not equipped to fly RNP approaches. If that is the case then don't bother answering questions regarding those approach plates. I then only question RNAV (GPS) Y RWY 11.
RNAV (GPS) Y RWY 11 - I think I understand what the # and % means. # - Missed apprroach requires minimum climb of 290 ft per NM to 8300 for LPV DA # and LNAV MDA#
% - LNAV MDA %. I'm pretty much confused what this % means. Why are is there 2 LNAV MDA's with 2 different MDA's (LNAV MDA# and LNAV MDA %)? Can this approach be flown by any IFR approach approved gps (430, 530 G1000, etc)?
RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 11 - Why does JUMIS intersection have (RF REQD) below it. I figured out that RF stands for Radius-to-Fix. But on this plate what is the fix to determine the Radius? What is the purpose of the thin black line? Can this approach be flown by any IFR approach approved gps (430, 530 G1000, etc)? What does RNP 0.12 Da and RNP 0.30 DA mean? Maybe I'm not familiar with RNAV
RNAV (RNP) RWY 29 - Again maybe the aircraft I fly (G1000 - 430) are not equipped to fly this approach. But in case it is feel free to answer this question. If not, then don't bother. I see all the IAF in the plan view. What is purpose of CUPRA intersection and the solid black curved line depicting a right turn to WAMIS intersection? What is the purpose of the solid black Arrow generated from Runway pointing South East (9000 to CUPRA 106 deg 9.9)?
I am happy to say I understand the rest of the approach plates (ILS Z, ILS Y, VOR/DME-B, VOR/DME-A, RNAV (GPS)-D
Thanks for any help.
