Folks,
Airservices canned WAAS in Australia, because there was no way to charge for it, what a shame!!
Remember, we did have WAAS coverage until a few years ago, but the (I think PamAmSat) satellite was moved east over the Pacific ---- or the service moved to another more easterly satellite.
Generation 3 GPS will produce WAAS accuracy, without WAAS, for everything but aircraft and high speed rail, so aviation in Australia misses out again.
The "post Airservices" DoI &T look at WAAS as a national infrastructure effort went nowhere, because of Gen 3 GPS, coming soon to a receiver near you, and the major airline saying they had no use for WAAS ---- so the rest of aviation looses.
Thanks, Minister.
Tootle pip!!
