GPS/SBAS does not work on the TBM 930

Some approach procedures use SBAS from the gps, and it is disabled on my TBM 930, how do I activate it?

If you’re referring to the fact that some RNAV approaches don’t show up in the 930, it’s normally because the G3000 in the 930 is not certified to fly approaches with RNP minima. Also, if the approach is listed on the actual approach charts as “authorization required/AR”, the G3000 isn’t authorized for those either. Unfortunately, you’ll normally need an approach chart to verify if an approach requires one of those conditions. (for example, in the U.S. RNAVs will show up as either “RNAV/GPS or RNAV/RNP”. You can fly the /GPS ones, but not the /RNP ones in the 930). The WM will gladly let you set up an unauthorized approach, and you won’t know until it doesn’t show up when you’re in the plane.

I’ve attached a screenshot of Dulles (KIAD) approaches, and you can see how they’re listed. Per “flightaware” page.
