Fed: Planes flying in "commercial" airspace must get GPS
See
http://www.usatoday.com/travel/fligh...rol28_ST_N.htm I assume by "commercial" airspace they mean areas like Class A-B or A-C. And by "GPS" they appear to mean not just GPS but ADS-B. The article doesn't say which private aircraft will be expected to install this equipment, but the deadline is 2020. I hope the government will not use this as an excuse to decommission VORs. VORs are the only back-up for a satellite system that is easily jammed or spoofed (unless you have an INS, but there aren't too many small single-engine aircraft so equipped).
