SPECIAL NOTICE
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Operations Using GNSS (GPS and WAAS)
This notice provides the terms and conditions of the Canadian approval for use of GPS and WAAS in
Canadian IFR flight operations. This information is repeated in Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC)
27/05 issued October 27, 2005. Additional reference and guidance material can be found in the Transport
Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) COM 3.16.
1.0 GPS and WAAS Operations
1.1 General
(a) The GPS or WAAS avionics shall be operated in accordance with the aircraft flight manual (AFM)
or AFM Supplement as defined by the CARs.
(b) If the loss of GPS or WAAS navigation performance accuracy or integrity results in the inability to
support the planned flight operation, the pilot-in-command shall advise ATS as soon as practical.
(c) The COM/NAV equipment suffix to indicate either GPS or WAAS capability is "G".
1.2 En-route and Terminal Operations
(a) GPS or WAAS may be used for all en-route and terminal operations.
(b) Course deviation indicator (CDI) sensitivity and integrity alerting shall be appropriate for the
phase of flight.
(c) Sufficient navigation capability shall be available in accordance with CARs Part VI to continue to
the planned destination or another aerodrome in the event of a loss of GPS navigation.
1.3 RNAV (GPS) and RNAV (GNSS) Approaches
GPS and WAAS based approaches are charted as RNAV (GPS) RWY XX or RNAV (GNSS) RWY XX
denoting that GNSS navigation shall be used for approach guidance. These approaches may have up
to three charted minima lines:
- LPV (localizer performance with vertical navigation)
- LNAV/VNAV (lateral/vertical navigation); and
- LNAV (lateral navigation only);
1.4 GPS Overlay Approaches
Geomatics Canada
Overlay approaches are traditional VOR- or NDB-based approaches (not LOC) that have been approved
to be flown using the guidance of an IFR approach-certified GPS. These are identified in the CAP by
including "(GPS)" in small capitals after the runway designation [e.g. NDB RWY 04 (GPS)].
