Information for Non-Aviation Users
This page has been prepared to inform non-aviation users what they can expect as a result of the upcoming WAAS GEO satellite move.
The move of the AOR-W satellite to the west may have a significant impact on non-aviation users on the East Coast. In its new position, the AOR-W satellite will appear lower on the horizon to users situated at ground level. As a result, the satellite may be obstructed by mountains, buildings, trees, or other types of obstructions that sit to the west of the user.
This situation is temporary. A new WAAS satellite (PanAmSat) comes on-line in the fall of 2006 that will restore service to users on the East Coast affected by the temporary outage
WAAS Inmarsat GEO Coverage Starting in Fall 2006
Wass up with WAAS (couldn't resist that)
