An important part of the precision approach environment is the airport
surface itself: an adequate runway clear zone and adequate approach
lighting. Just because you can get a WAAS signal does not mean a
particular runway is going to be appropriate for a 200 ft minimum.

I have the ear of some local government development people, who are
contemplating upgrading some airports. Money is tight, so an ILS is
probably not under consideration. So, I want to recommend to them
checking into a WAAS installation. Does anyone know what the prices of
such equipment for an airport are, which companies are selling them,
and how much it costs to get the FAA to then create a WAAS IFR
approach?
