Napa (KAPC) has two RNAV approaches to 36L. Both have all the same waypoints, including the missed approach. Both have LPV minima. The RNAV Z approach is pretty much what you would expect from an LPV approach. The Y has ridiculously high minima -- 1250 and 5, and LPV minima are higher than LNAV. What is the difference, and why does the Y even exist? It can't be obstructions because the paths and altitudes are all the same.

Edit: I see. Large climb gradient for missed approach on the RNAV Z. Though even a 172 should be able to do that at Vy unless it's really hot.
