LPV Approaches in a Helicopter?
Are there any helicopters capable or certified for LPV GNSS approaches (Localizer Precision with Vertical Guidance)? Is newer equipment like the AW139 or S76C+ more likely to be approved, or are all the creative juices going to older aircraft like a refitted VIH/Carson S61?
Almost all airports in the US have published LPV approaches and I'm seeing a bunch more here in Canada. On frequency I hear lots of fixed wing stuff getting the approaches, but never a helicopter.

Have done a few LPV approaches to the Deadhorse Alaska airport with a BH212 and BH412. Both equipped with Garmin 420 waas GPS. GPS waas signal is not available 100% as yet.
