Folks,
I noted, last week, that FAA has called tenders for equipment that can comfortably be installed in a small van, to hunt down whoever is deliberately jamming GPS/GBAS signals at several airports in US, where FAA have been conducting trials of such to the equivalent of ILS CAT II/III minima.
Meantime, said trials are suspended.
I am afraid that, as a great supported of the various uses of GPS, I am becoming progressively more aware that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket --- which seems to be altogether too close to what Airservices are planning.
And (quiet Ha Ha behind my hand) I notice Airservices are once again trialing approach procedures ------ that we first trialed, very successfully, in Brisbane soon after the new airport opens ----- how long ago??? 25+ years???
You certainly can't accuse Airservices of rushing new technology into operation ---- can you????
Tootle pip!!
