Phase III GPS

Approaches

Jeppesen Approach Procedure Charts identify Phase-2 overlay approaches by printing GPS contained in parenthesis, (GPS) along with the procedure name.

Phase III GPS approaches must contain GPS in the title of the GPS procedure such as VOR or GPS RWY

24.Neither the ground station navaid(s) nor the traditional aircraft avionics is required. If the approach is to be flown using the Apollo GX, it should be requested and approved by the GPS name, such as GPS RWY 24. If it is to be flown with the traditional avionics, it should be requested and approved by that name, such as VOR RWY 24.

You should always plan the route and approach to any required alternate airport as if a supplementary navigation system, such as GPS or Loran-C, may not be available. The traditional en route and approach Navaids must be operating and the aircraft must have the required avionics to use for required alternates. You may use a supplementary system, such as GPS, to navigate to an alternate airport. You may execute a GPS approach to a required alternate, but you must plan for the possibility that GPS navigation will not be available.

FAA guidelines on IFR use of GPS and GPS approaches are contained in an FAA Advisory Circular (AC), AC 90-94. You should be familiar with the information in this AC before attempting GPS approaches.

In order to use the Apollo GX for an approach, the approach must be selected from the Apollo GX database and loaded into the active flight plan. Only approaches found in the Apollo GX database may be flown with the Apollo GX.
