Gps landing system

This has already been demonstrated, known as GLS and has functioned throughout landing and rollout, there was a recent article in an aviation magazine about it.

We had the director of flight test for the 767-400 with us to Hnl recently who was heading out to Guam to sell Continental Micronesia on the technology.

Understand they had the lateral tolerances down to less than a metre on touchdown.
