Can Pilots Get WAAS Without Going All-In-One?

or many aircraft owners, the plane they fly is one they can afford. Many owners pour big bucks into their aircraft to modernize them and keep their systems up-to-date. This “love-the-one-you’re-with” approach helped drive the pragmatic adaptation of the many area-nav choices that started arriving in the mid1980s in the form of compact, digital-electronics Loran C navigators. The 1990s arrival of GPS navigators, which, like the Loran units, were small enough to fit into a 2-inch-high mounting tray in the panel, held even more appeal with the issuance of technical standard order C129a for instrument flight rules GPS navigators. The technological revolution continues with the rise of WAAS GPS approved under TSO C145a and the many benefits it affords, such as satisfying the position-data requirements for ADS-B Out. So far, there are no TSO’d WAAS GPS navigators available that can swap into the 2-inch slots where thousands of useless Loran C boxes and less-capable GPS units still reside, and with no upgrade path to WAAS outside a unit that requires more than swapping a 2-inch unit. No doubt, thousands of these devices are still flying – several wholly obsolete Loran C navigators and lots of their successor GPS navigators, many TSO’d for IFR non-precision approaches.
