Why wouldn't you want a WAAAS capable panel mount in any case, ADS-B
notwithstanding?


VFR-only aircraft do not gain much operational utility from the increased
accuracy of WAAS GPS. Simply put, WAAS enables near CAT I instrument
approaches. Non-WAAS GPS is perfectly capable of being used VFR.

And why ADS-B requires the small accuracy gain of WAAS is a mystery to me.
I wonder why the FAA wants to make a US version of ADS-B instead of using
a common standard.

There is a whole different world of safety and operational access
available with 145/146 panel mounts over 129 boxes.

huh?
