SBAS not in use

[jimtheman123]

Hello,

 

I've started getting this message:

When I cycle WAAS (Flying in NA) it will remove the message for a few minutes before coming back. I'm not sure what is wrong. The study panel page for vertical WAAS works but nothing opens for horizontal WAAS. I assume it's a bug in my installation but I wanted to ask first before reinstalling.

 

Thanks

Well done in using the study windows and identifying the underlying issue! You’re correct, horizontal performance data for the WAAS system is unavailable at the moment due to a fault at the FAA data service we use. I expect it’ll be resolved when business opens again in USA. For now treat it as an exercise for the sim pilot into what would a real pilot do in a WAAS outage scenario.

It’s not the first time and won’t be the last.

That's very cool! Thanks!

Just throwing a comment out that I am also still getting the APPR NOT AVAILABLE and CHK SBAS SVC PRVDR messages on an LPV approach.

Also unable to pull up the horizontal WAAS window. 

Safe to assume the FAA hasn't resolved the tool used by the sim yet? Been pulling my hair out for the last couple of days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong (before finding this post)!

Correct.
