Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):


GPS works by ranging and triangulating aircraft position from a group of satellites. Of the 24 GPS satellites currently in orbit, a minimum of four are needed to determine an aircraft’s three dimension position. GPS measures distance by calculating the amount of time it takes a navigation and time reference radio signal from the satellite to make a one-way trip to the GPS receiver in the airplane. Attend this briefing and learn all about GPS.
