Another CFI and I are discussing what gives a pilot the authority to shoot an approach to LPV minimums. The G1000 just shows whatever it decides it's using; the only thing the pilot can do is verify WAAS reception is enabled.
We've searched the POH and supplements, along with the G1000 cockpit reference guide (both the quick guide in the plane and the huge version online), but can't find anything concrete.
I contend that a pilot doesn't need anything that says "You can use LPV minimums because your GPS is WAAS capable" in a POH or supplement -- you are either capable and able to use those mins, or not. But the other CFI is convinced you do need express authorization.
Thoughts? Are we missing something obvious?
