DGCA certifies first phase of desi GPS
NEW DELHI: Paving the wayfor satellite-based flight navigation over the vast airspace of India, its neighbours and surrounding high seas, the first phase of the ambitious navigation system GAGAN has been certified by DGCA. The certification of the GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system is a major step to make it fully operational in the next few months.
The DGCA certification was done earlier this week, official sources said on Sunday, adding the certification process involved testing of a large number of technical issues and documentations. GAGAN would enable aircraft fitted with satellite-based augmentation equipment to use its signals in space for en route navigation and precision approach without vertical guidance over the air space.
Developed by AAI and Isro, GAGAN would expand India's navigation coverage not only over Indian airspace, but also over Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.
