More gibberish and sensless unfounded babble.

This is big news --- WAAS GPS is oficially operational for IFR use: http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsite...03-3-019x.html However, it looks like the timeframe to get low IFR approach minimums will be longer than originally anticipated. Also a prior post sugested it may cost $1500 to update a Gamin 530, which means some people may choose not to upgrade... soon when getting into a rental or club plane with a GPS, there may be not only IFR vs. VFR installations but also WAAS IFR instalations to complicate things further. "For the near future, the "gold standard" for approach guidance remains an instrument landing system (ILS). Ultimately though, in perhaps a decade's time, WAAS has the potential to offer ILS-quality information to pilots in a typical four-seat single-engine GA aircraft." That will be right around the time L5 becomes available and WAAS is obsolete. John P. Tarver, MS/PE |
