Many consumer GPS chipset based GPS receivers in gliders may utilize WAAS/SBAS technology. But that is *very* different than what is meant by a IFW/WAAS GPS receiver like specified for example in TSO-C145 and the RTCA standards it incorporates.
I would be surprised if there is any GPS receivers installed in any glider gliders that is "WAAS Compliant" if that means TSO-C145, if not that then "compliant" to what standard?
