Is WAAS required for IFR?
An IFR approved WAAS GPS is required for vertical approach guidance. That could be simple advisory vertical guidance or LPV approaches that guide you to within 200 feet of the ground more reliably than a typical ILS approach. WAAS GPS gives you more options with planning alternate airports.
