{{Uganda has started implementing the use of Global Navigation Satellite System that enables pilots to circumnavigate the airspace of a given country without necessarily consulting Air navigators.}}<\/p>\n
The technology -satellite-based augmentation system, also provides honest information about the GPS system and gives opportunities for pilots to use more accurate positioning data for improving existing services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are shifting from the old ground based system that is more expensive and divides the pilot\u2019s attention by continuously communicating to air navigators in the control room to a satellite based system that enables a pilot to freely navigate through narrow channels,\u201d Mr Richard Ruhesi, Civil Aviation Authority Director Air Navigation said.<\/p>\n
Uganda has been using radars and historical navigation to help pilots navigating its air space but this will gradually be phased out because of its limitations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this technology, air navigators can have accurate information about the airspace and can give standard separation of the aircrafts,\u201d added Mr Ruhesi.<\/p>\n
