Given that they have been around awhile, I find it somewhat amusing that I have never done a GPS approach. I have never had access to an airplane that was capable of doing them.
Having said that, I need to educate myself. I will be using a Garmin 300XL and eventually a G1000, but I can work out the procedures of the specific boxes on my own, I think.
What I am after is reference material on generic procedures for doing GPS approaches. What equipment is required, sequence of events, RAIM, that sort of thing. Instrument Flying Handbook? Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge? Others? Anyone have suggestions for a Readers Digest condensed version of what is required?
I rode around in the backseat of an Archer yesterday watching a couple of GPS approaches. It looks like there really isn't too much to it, but I have never been trained and want to broaden my knowledge base.
