Difference between Avionics and Wide Area Augmentation System

Avionics vs. Wide Area Augmentation System

Avionics are the electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft. The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an air navigation aid developed by the Federal Aviation Administration to augment the Global Positioning System (GPS), with the goal of improving its accuracy, integrity, and availability.

Similarities between Avionics and Wide Area Augmentation System

Avionics and Wide Area Augmentation System have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Federal Aviation Administration, Global Positioning System, LORAN, Satellite, VHF omnidirectional range.

Federal Aviation Administration

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States is a national authority with powers to regulate all aspects of civil aviation.

VHF omnidirectional range

Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine their position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons.
