Guiding PrinciplesGuiding Principles
• Do No Harm• Ensure Access and Equity are Part of Any
Plans Going Forward• Design Airspace for All Users• Avoid Mandates Wherever Possible
Remain Supportive and OptimisticRemain Supportive and Optimistic
• AOPA has long been a proponent of a Satellite based navigation system
– Since the early 90’s
– AOPA members adopted GPS because of a proven benefit
• When examining, look at our core member
– 75% of 415,000 flew less than 125 hours last year
• Average Piston Fleet Age 2005
– 36.5 Years
• Average Piston Fleet Age 2008
– 42.25 Years
2011 NextGen Survey
GPS Use• The majority of respondents
use an advanced panel mounted GPS unit, capable of instrument navigation. Just 10% do not use a GPS
• Most respondents did not have any GPS failures within the last 18 months (73%) Average of 0.65 failures per
respondent in the last 18 months
• 50% of respondents have a WAAS equipped GPS
6Approximately how many times has your GPS failed or lost signal over the last 18 months?
What do you use for GPS navigation?
2011 NextGen Survey
Equipage Plan• 34% of aircraft owner
respondents stated that they don’t plan to equip for ADS-B.
• 22% plan to equip between 2012 and 2014
• Cost of equipping was a high concern with aircraft owners.
• 32% of aircraft owners stated a change in the cost of avionics units would make them want to equip with ADS-B sooner An additional 24% stated the
cost of avionics installation/certification would influence equipage timing

•Improves Safety•Cheaper than ILS•Brings All Weather Capability to low volume Airports
Airports with WAAS LPV/LP Instrument Approaches Airports with WAAS LPV/LP Instrument Approaches
As of December 15th, 2011- 2979 LP/LPVs combined- 2,746 LPVs serving 1,398 Airports- 1,755 LPVs to Non-ILS Runways - 991 LPVs to ILS runways- 1,164 LPVs to Non-ILS Airports- 233 LPs serving 169 Airports- 229 LPs to Non-ILS Runway- 4 LPs to ILS Runways
