    Raychart 320 Chartplotter Figure 0-1: The WAAS System Availability of the WAAS System The WAAS system is presently broadcasting and being tested for aviation use. It is expected to be certified by the FAA in 2002. During this testing and certification period, continuous service is expected, however, brief signal outages may occur as refinements and upgrades are made to the system.

    Prelim Pages Figure 0-2: WAAS Coverage Map Coverage Outside of North America Europe and Asia are developing similar systems (EGNOSS and MSAS respectively). Combined with WAAS, these systems will provide global satellite based differential GPS augmentation in the future. Continuation of Broadcast Coverage The continuation of broadcast SD signals is not the responsibility of Raytheon Marine Company or Raytheon Corporation.
