Exploring the Corner Case Approach for a Pilot

LNAV/VNAV minimums are a bit of a mystery to most U.S. pilots. That’s probably because they’re rarely encountered, except at the relatively few airports with RNAV (GPS) approaches that have LNAV/VNAV minimums but no LPV minimums.

However, as will be explained, I encountered them while flying an approach with LPV minimums when the satellite signal quality was insufficient to support LPV minimums.
