iPhone or iPad VFR GPS by
A L
I am hesitating between buying the iPhone 4 and the iPad (or else?) to
use as a VFR GPS. One of the attractive feature of the iPad is the
larger screen but it is also one of the drawback... Apparently the
iPhone has an internal Gyroscope which the iPad does not have (might be
added on the iPad...

I have a dream. A GPS/SBAS/QZSS dream ! In honour of MLK day. by
macpacheco
I have a dream. All IIA satellites retired. All IIF satellites in
orbit.
L2C signal set fully healthy with 19 operational satellites (12 IIF +
7 IIRM).
L5 signal set healthy even though only 12 IIF satellites are
broadcasting it. But their ranging signals are as perfect as
predicted, not enough for...

Galaxy XV / PRN 135 WAAS signal unofficially healthy again ? by
macpacheco
Since March 1st, PRN 135 WAAS ranging has changed from NM (Not
Monitored) to NPA (Non precision approach). From what I observed this
wouldn't be possible with MT0 (test mode) being broadcast by said GEO.
This is also typically the first step when a GEO is transitioned from
Test mode into regular...

TACAN by
[email protected]
Is there an on-line directory of TACAN locations? For example, the FAA
lists on
http://www.faa.gov/atpubs/LID/A_B.htm
a TACAN on Bald Mountain Nevada, with designation GBM. However, there
is more than one Bald Mountain in Nevada. I'm looking for lon/lat.

Galaxy XV / PRN 135 geo arrives at 133.1W, WAAS ranging back to 7.5meter UDRE by
macpacheco
Galaxy XV / PRN 135 WAAS arrived this weekend at 133.1W
Ranging is now back to the best possible (for GEOs) 7.5 meter UDRE.
In its normal operating orbit, it shows up in very high elevation over
Hawaii.
In this position, PRN 135 provides full Alaska coverage, and with
ranging back to 7.5 meter, it...

PRN133 ranging now useable for SoL, at non precision approach level by

Since PRN133 was set healthy for WAAS corrections, its ranging was
kept at NM (Not Monitored) level, preventing its use for safety of
life applications, however in the last few days, its ranging improved
to UDRE 50 meters, which allows it to contribute for non precision
approaches.
