During a press conference at the ATC Global in Amsterdam, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung presented two new systems – a satellite-based approach system called GBAS (Ground Based Augmentation System), and the 4D Planner, an arrival manager that optimises the approach sequence at airports. The GPS signal still has an inaccuracy of plus/minus ten metres. But with the GBAS ground station, the signal is augmented to ensure that precision landings may now be performed by means of satellite navigation. Since September 2007, a Boeing 737 of the airline TUIfly has been regularly using the Bremen ground station in visual meteorological conditions. A few days ago, the next step was taken, i.e. using the station in instrument meteorological conditions. DFS hopes that the ground station will be certified within the course of this year. It would be the first certified GBAS station in the world.
