Saturday Morning Coffee and Wings - Where Did All The Witches Hats Go?

The VOR Minimum Operational Network Is Coming To An Airport Near You Join us for A VIRTUAL cup of coffee, a donut, and a LIVE WEBINAR as Vince and Neil discuss the use of GPS for aircraft navigation. It's decreased the need for ground-based navigation aids for most flights under instrument flight rules. Many aviation users no longer use VORs for navigation and can navigate only using GPS. The FAA could potentially remove all or nearly all VORs. The risk of disruptions of GPS systems is well known. The FAA is planning to maintain backup navigation capability to provide service in case of a GPS disruption. The complimentary navigation systems will be the VOR Minimum Operational Network and the NextGen Distance Measuring Equipment. This presentation will discuss details of the VOR MON and Nex Gen DME programs and the necessity for pilots to be prepared to use them in case of a GPS disruption.
