Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Modern air travel for our industry is inconceivable without a reliable GPS system to guide it. Even minimal predicted interference to GPS operations creates unacceptable risks to life and property. It is imperative that the LightSquared system not be deployed unless it can be guaranteed that the existing GPS system is fully protected from radio interference." Source: Jack Pelton, chairman, president and CEO of Cessna Aircraft Company and chairman of GAMA's Flight Operations Policy Committee, commenting on a letter sent to the FCC concerning possible GPS interference from LightSquared.
