FAA Introduces GPS For Airlines
October 12, 2008
The Federal Aviation Administration said it will begin building a new high-tech satellite-based air traffic control system, awarding a $1 billion contract to begin work on the project that will work using GPS, or global positioning satellites, cutting down on delays and enabling the FAA to handle two to three times the amount of air traffic using the skies.
Joshua Vazquez is safety director for Phoenix East Aviation — a flight training school in Daytona Beach.
Vazquez said this new technology will allow air traffic controllers and pilots to see airplanes in real time, not delayed by a radar blip, which will allow planes to taxi, takeoff, land and fly closer together and safer.
