FAA WAAS Update
INMARSAT AOR-W satellite
(PRN # 122) and POR
satellite (PRN #134) phased
out
July 2007 (Update) - The
Atlantic Ocean Region - West
(AOR-W) satellite
represented by PRN #122 and
the Pacific Ocean Region (POR)
satellite represented by PRN
#134 will cease WAAS
signal-in-space (SIS)
transmission on July 30th,
2007.
New WAAS GEO broadcast
July 2007 - The WAAS
broadcast from the Telesat
geostationary satellite (PRN
#138) will be operation (in
Normal mode) and usable by
WAAS avionics receivers on
July 11. The orbital
location of Telesat provides
even better WAAS performance
to the East Coast (high
elevation) and also extends
WAAS signal-in-space (SIS)
coverage into northeastern
Canada.

If you are currently relying
on a WAAS enabled receiver,
it may be beneficial to
consult the receiver
manufacturer to see if your
receiver is effected in any
way by these changes. We
have received word that
firmware updates are
available from some
manufacturers for older
receivers that may not
recognize SVs 135 and 138
during an auto-search
function.
