AOPA advocacy makes it easier t= o add=20 GPS to panel

Jan. 30 =E2=80=94 Installing panel-mounted GPS units has become simpler f= or most=20 general aviation aircraft owners, thanks to efforts by AOPA. As the direct=20 result of a summit meeting hosted by AOPA last spring, the FAA published an advisory=20 circular (AC 20-138a =E2=80=94 Airworthiness Approval of Global Navig= ation=20 Satellite System (GNSS) Equipment) late last week, which makes simple GP= S=20 installations the same as any other navigation system.

At the meeting, AOPA and the Aircraft Electronics Association told the FA= A=20 that installation costs were one of the biggest obstacles to widespread adop= tion=20 of GPS by general aviation. The FAA agreed with the associations that the=20 installation requirements needed to be simplified.
