  4. What Airport Owners and Consultants Should Know about WAAS Q: How much does a free WAAS procedure cost? A: If you are not careful, more than you got!

  5. Typical non-precision RPZ

  6. Approach upgraded to Precision

  7. Any new procedure (including WAAS) impacts Airport Design Standards: 3 Changes that Affect Design Standards: • New non-precision approach procedure on runways that were visual approach only • Existing non-precision approach upgraded to a precision approach • Significant minimums lowered for existing non-precision approach

  8. What Should Airport Owners do to Prepare for new WAAS Procedures? • Understand the affect of a planned new WAAS procedure on your specific airport (Prior Proper Planning), • Update the ALP for the new procedure, • Survey the approach conditions to know the obstruction or get the best minimums (IAW A/C 150-5200-16, -17, -18)

  9. What Should Airport Owners do to Prepare for new WAAS Procedures? • Do not hesitate to request a change in the procedure (higher minimums, day/night restrictions, etc) to reduce impact until the airport can be improved to standards, • Implement improvements to support the new WAAS procedure(s) (buy land, easements, clear obstructions)
