    Ask The Tech – “How do you upgrade aircraft GPS to WAAS?”

    In this video clip, you’ll see me do a WAAS upgrade to a Cessna Conquest II. One of the nicer planes I’ve had the honor of working on. What is WAAS and how is it better than my regular GPS? WAAS, or Wide Area Augmentation System, is a system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections, giving you even better position accuracy. An average GPS is accurate to around 5-15 meters. WAAS is accurate to less than 3 meters 95% of the time and was created for better precision flight approaches.
