GPS as an approach aid

Hi

I am a helicopter pilot in the Royal Navy and have been asked to do a presentation on the use of GPS as an approach aid.

We have used it once in operations, as an emergency procedure only, and to good effect. I know it will be legal as a non precision apporach aid in the UK from Sept 07 at 6 airports that have been tested.

We as 'Junglies', ie support helicopter pilots, have a vested interest in the development of this technology. I would like to find out more about the technical and indeed the legal issues behind current development.

If anyone could duscuss or point me in the right direction that would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Willow
