Default GPS Outage?

As I said on the phone, I'm going to re-register with DUATS. Thanks.


If you are doing that to get NOTAMS, take a look at this FAA NOTAM site:

https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/distrib...TOKEN=89793005

It's the most useful I've found for NOTAMS, and I like it far more than
DUATS. I mostly use the Radius Search, since I usually don't know which
direction I'm going. A 100 nm radius produces a lengthy list, but I can
page through it quickly, because airport listing with NOTAMS are a
different color. Other NOTAMS are listed, in addition to the airport NOTAMS.

I haven't used DUATS for a several years, as I found I could get better
information, presented more usefully, from other places on the Internet.
I could never stop DUATS from giving me pages and pages of worthless
information. Now, give me Dr Jack, NWS weather for the local area,
satellite photos, FAA's NOTAM site, and the NIFC graphical TFR site, and
I'm good to go.
