Has been used as a stand alone non-precision approach aid in NZ for 13 years - WAAS not required, works well - very few coverage problems. Operational rules cover requirements in case GPS not available.
The EMS helis love it - they reckon it has saved 4 lives to date using point in space procedures to strategic locations (school playing fields work well)
