How WAAS Works | Wide Area Augmentation System | GPS Navigation

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) computes errors from GPS satellite position fixes, and transmits the error corrections to receivers on board our aircraft. If equipped with a WAAS receiver, our aircraft can benefit from far more accurate position fixes, allowing us to fly certain GPS approaches the same as we would a precision ILS.
