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.

Max Trescott and Rob Mark review a Boeing 737 cargo crash, several fuel-related accidents, loss of control, and a dangerous carb-ice misconception.

The hosts analyze Beechcraft 95-A55 Baron N7501S after an apparent dual-engine failure near Lancaster, South Carolina, following an 18-hour flying day, raising questions about fuel endurance, fatigue, and nighttime hypoxia.

Flying an RNAV (GPS) approach with a +V advisory glide slope looks and feels exactly like flying a glide path to LPV minimums. But while an LPV path is obstacle-protected down to a decision altitude (DA), a +V glide slope can run you through a mountain after you descend below the minimum descent altitude (MDA). Yet in both situations, the PFD display will look almost identical. A recent fatal accident involving a 2024 Epic E1000 at Steamboat Springs, Colorado, highlights this issue.
