14. FAA Satellite Navigation – Status Briefing 14 Federal Aviation Administration January 5, 2007 Preparing Airports for WAAS WAAS Provides a Space-Based ILS-like Approach –No ground navigation hardware required –WAAS uses the same ILS obstacle evaluation area and procedure criteria * Airport Infrastructure Needed –Paved runways over 3200 ft. long by 60 ft. wide –Non-precision runway markings (or better) –Runway safety zone Airport Infrastructure Recommended to Obtain the lowest possible minima – Parallel taxiway (reduces decision height, but not mandatory) – Medium Intensity Runway Lights (reduces visibility and provides for night operations) Steps To Prepare Airport 1)Review information on getting an instrument approach at: http://avn.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=ifp/index 2)Contact Airport District Office to determine Infrastructure requirements/improvements 3)Determine if required level of airport survey exists, is scheduled, or will be acquired. * The same terrain issues that can prevent an ILS approach also pertain to LPVs.
