Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

During the RNAV GPS Runway 21 approach into Santa Monica, after passing the final approach fix and descending through approximately 1800 feet, experienced a loss of the glide path associated with a GPS LOI (loss of integrity) warning. Immediately executed the published missed approach. Regained full GPS functionality during the climb and successfully executed the same approach to a landing at SMO. No further GPS anomalies in later flights. Subsequently heard from my company that other pilots had experienced GPS failure in same location.
