Egnos air traffic navigation - field trials in France
French version of this production
Version Française de cette production
Egnos, the European overlay system on GPS, will make satellite navigation safe enough for use in commercial air traffic navigation. The system is now nearing its certification, as part of which numerous field trials are done. One such trial, held in Limoges (France) under the auspices of the French civil aviation authority, was filmed for this TV Exchange, from the cockpit and at the ground.
When operational, Egnos will make notably aircraft landings safer at all airports without an ILS system, i.e. in most developing countries including favourite holiday destinations.
