With some recent system enhancements,


The biggie being the new 3rd GEO, I presume, Brad?

coverage in ME is much better
now. For a real-time snapshot of WAAS coverage, check out the

Also, I just checked the web site now (6 MAR 07 12:06:17 GMT on the chart)
and the RED line excludes the eastern half of MA, almost all of VT, all of
NH and all of ME!

I can go back and check, but I'm believe the time the NOTAM was issued
correlates fairly
closely with the re-positioning of the GEO performed last year.

Note that KAUG is one of the locations which has the Inverted-W on the
approach. This means
(among other things related to flight planning) that Predictive NOTAMs
for it are not issued. They
can't be since they're not run through the model.
