The approach meets all the requirements to fly as a precision approach, EXCEPT it lacks “or gps” in the title, which may or may not be required by E190 FCOM VOL 1. (paragraph 3.27.9.1 and 3.27.9.2 contradict each other here). Shocking that the crew could be confused here with our grade-A training
If it has vertical guidance, it's legal. (With the exception of certain international RNP AR approaches)
Read the Ops Spec if you're confused.
