Max Trescott's latest book takes the reader through the details of how GPS and WAAS, the Wide Area Augmentation System, operate. Then he gives detailed instructions for operating the most popular panel mounted GPS. He explores common misperceptions such as the myth of "activating the approach" and why you never need to do it. He also explains the new WAAS minimums: LPV, LNAV/VNAV, LNAV, LNAV+V, and LP and why checking RAIM no longer matters with a WAAS-capable GPS receiver.
