Problem with GS on Garmin WAAS

Webb · #1 01-21-2009, 03:53 PM

My airport manager just received a letter from Garmin (I think the ink was still wet). On airports with 3 letter identifiers (eg: my home airport is M16), the glideslope does not work in Garmin WAAS units. Garmin is working on this but you currently do not have a working glideslope for 3 letter airports on panel mount WAAS Garmins.

Too early for April Fool's Day and I saw the letter.

In other words - plan accordingly.....have a nice day ,')

The letter came after many folks could not figure out what was going on at our airport and Garmin was contacted. I didn't realize how old this was. Perhaps it will help someone out there anyway.

Any ideal when they will have corrected?

From Garmin today:

This will be corrected in the next software upgrade - due out within a month.
