G150 WAAS Functionality Approved
The optional WAAS-capable receiver can be installed on new G150s during final-phase manufacturing or as a retrofit on all in-service G150 aircraft
28/06/2010
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) functionality on Gulfstream G150 aircraft.
The WAAS navigation system is composed of satellites and ground stations that improve the accuracy of the Global Positioning System (GPS). Receivers evaluate the quality of the GPS signal, relaying it to master stations that transmit improvements to geostationary satellites, which then broadcast correction signals to WAAS-capable satellite receivers.
WAAS also provides localiser performance with vertical guidance (LPV), allowing pilots to fly into approved airports using a pseudo-glideslope, just as they would with an instrument landing system (ILS) approach.
The optional WAAS-capable receiver can be installed on new G150s during final-phase manufacturing or as a retrofit on all in-service G150 aircraft.
