Not quite. I had lunch with one of the FAA guys, and he told me there were
some significant technical hurdles that were not adequately addressed. They were much further from fielding than anyone was led to believe. I also heard that WAAS will never get close to Cat I cert... Then again, he stated that legacy systems can't even meet the new performance specs to begin with. Looks like the bar was set too high... wrote in message ...

FAA has canceled the program. Looks like the ground based ILS systems once slated for removal by 2010 are here to stay. They finally figured out the airlines are married to ILS, both domestically and internationally. |
