Do you have a newer version? The FAAs OLD thought of getting rid of all ground-based navaids in favor of SATNAV was flawed from the beginning. It was further reduced to outdated after 9/11. How so? There isn't a newer version because the FAA does not like to admit when they do incorrect planning. If those old documents were valid some VORs would already be shutdown. |

They don't even have them in the G1000 system and have said they aren't planning on adding it Wow, that really blows my mind. They've got it in the 480 (via the Apollo/UPSAT acquisition), and it's one of the best features of that box. It's staggering that they left it out of the G1000. Garmin may thing airways are obsolete, but nobody's told ATC about that yet, at least not around where I fly. The guy who runs the 400/500/1000 program has always been hard-over against an airway database. |

"Marco Leon" mmleon(at)yahoo.com wrote: So how far off an airway is an aircraft when they are following a GPS flight plan with every intersection and VOR? Is there an article or study somewhere that includes metrics to back it up? For example, "a non-WAAS GPS-derived line direct btween two intersection xx miles away will differ from the airway between those same two intersections by x.x statute miles." How do the error allowances play into this? Since unaugmented GPS (not using WAAS) is accurate to 10 meters or so (plus/minus) and an airway is plus/minus four MILES (or is is two?) the navigation source (GPS) is not a major error source. Ron Lee VOR airway's primary is plus/minues 4 to 51 miles, where it expands at 4.5 degrees. The secondary is an additional 2 miles, which expands at 6.7 degrees at 51 miles. |

The issues with mag var and declination are easily absorbed by the huge
widths of the victor airway. The problem is airway course changes between facilities. An autoload of the airway not only solves that issue, it keeps everything "spot on" and has all the non-compulsory reporting points loaded and ready, if needed. |

There is one and only one great circle route between those two points. It's the same great circle whether you follow it with a GPS or a VOR receiver. The charted airway mag bearing is the issue. It was developed from one source and Garmin, et al, may or may not use the same source. But, you're right, it's no big deal, unless the airway has an intersection course change of some magnitude. |

The only issue (or flaw) that has come to my attention is the risk of radio interference on the GPS civilian frequency. The replacement GPS satellites are being designed with a second civilian frequency to address this problem. http://www.dot.gov/affairs/1998/dot5598.htm http://www.aero.org/news/newsitems/g...on-041398.html http://geodesy.geology.ohio-state.ed...09/gpsfre.html http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/mail/igsma.../msg00316.html http://clinton6.nara.gov/1998/03/199...an-signal.html |

But, I think Garmin is innovative but also concerned about liability issues. Just today ZDC issued the following NOTAM: KZDC WASHINGTON (ARTCC), DC. 02/064 - PILOTS UTILIZING JEPPESEN NAVIGATION DATABASE SYSTEMS FILED ON J79 SOUTHBOUND TO CHS ARE ADVISED THAT PROCESSING IS NOT CORRECT AND MAY CAUSE THEM TO NAVIGATE ON A ROUTE DIFFERENT OTHER THAN J79, PRIMARILY STARTING AT THE KATZN INTERSECTION. PILOT DEVIATIONS ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE ROUTING ERRORS WIE UNTIL 16 MAR 23:59 |
