Duncan Aviation recently released a new video series that tackles some of the more technical questions about WAAS/LPV Upgrades. Titled “Understanding WAAS & LPV,” the five-part video series explores legacy interface problems, field approvals, annunciators, NextGen criteria, and how to determine if an aircraft is a candidate for an upgrade, among other topics.
“There are lots of questions and ambiguity about WAAS and LPV right now,” says Gary Harpster, series host and avionics sales rep. at Duncan Aviation-Lincoln. “Our goal with these videos is to give you the info you need to make a sound decision.”
The video series is available for viewing at DuncanAviation.aero/waas. The first installment, WAAS Considerations (Introduction), was published July 1. Future installments include: What is WAAS? How WAAS Works; WAAS Benefits; and What is LPV?

The video series is based off Harpster’s WAAS presentations given at business aviation airports across the country, and complements Duncan Aviation’s “WAAS Answers From Industry Experts” whitepaper and “Straight Talk About WAAS” booklet. Both are available at DuncanAviation.aero/waas.
After looking briefly at the first in this WAAS series I thing Duncan has very little credibility. They say WAAS was introduced in 2007, but I bought a CNX80 with WAAS way before then. In fact, the FAA turned on the WAAS system July 10, 2003.
