The agency wrote that it expects to commission 500 GPS WAAS approaches in 2009
And that's on top of the 7,500+ GPS WAAS-capable approach procedures that the FAA will already have operational by the end of this year. No, that's not a misprint ... >7,500!

By the end of September 2008, this number included 1,333 semi-precision WAAS LPV procedures with ILS-like minima, exceeding for the first time the number of ILS procedures available throughout the USA.

Nice to see the UK maintaining its historical position at the leading edge of aviation.
