New EGNOS service declared at the EGNOS Service Provision Workshop 2015 in Copenhagen

The new EGNOS LPV-200 (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) service level now enables aircraft approaches that are operationally equivalent to ILS CAT I: providing lateral and angular vertical guidance without the need for visual contact with the ground until a Decision Height (DH) of down to only 200 ft. above the runway. These EGNOS-based approaches are considered ILS look-alike, but without the need for the expensive ground infrastructure required for ILS.
