guidage vertical
"La plate-forme aéroportuaire a présenté sa candidature à la mise en place d’une procédure APV EGNOS d’approche avec guidage vertical".
Is this just simply "vertical guidance" - it doesn't really make sense to me. I did find "guidage" translated as "vectoring" but that doesn't mean anything more to me either!
Thanks
Kevin

vertical guidance
You're right, Kevin - it is vertical guidance. APV stands for Approach with Vertical Guidance so the term needs to be retained.
Good luck.

Admittedly, I'd never heard of this and I've called a pilot friend but they hadn't heard of it either.
I reckon it's to do with approaches where the aircraft's vertical profile is GPS-tracked, as opposed to an ILS approach.
Just an idea.

"As an outcome on CFIT studies into aircraft approach accidents ICAO developed anadditional classification of approach design – APV (approach with vertical guidance). The CFIT studies indicated that providing vertical guidance as opposed to a ‘dive and drive’ approach was significantly safer."
