Narrative:
On approach into hky; I was given direct to zomar and cleared for the GPS 6 lp approach. Weather was 600 feet overcast with pretty good visibility. Approach mode was selected on the autopilot and GPS sequenced the approach arriving at zomar. The autopilot initiated the turn to kuvre and the approach became active. At this time the glide path was alive and intercepted. As the aircraft proceeded to follow the glide path; at some point during descent the glide path became unreliable and went away. As soon as I noticed; I stopped the descent and leveled off which was at 2;700 MSL. I believe that this was just outside of kuvre. The autopilot at this point was disconnected. I continued to fly the approach by hand as an LNAV approach. Airport was in sight at MDA and the landing was completed safely.
