Now flying enthusiasts and pilots like Ralph Gibbs will have a safer way to soar Alaska’s skies with new GPS-guided flight routes established by the Federal Aviation Administration.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Ralph Gibbs of Angel Aviation first got the flying bug when he was 19 years old and behind the wheel of a hot rod.
“They use newer GPS technology and they allow precise flight paths for pilots that allow them to fly more direct paths in Alaska,” the FAA’s Mike O’Hare said of the changes. It’s part of the Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative that was launched by the FAA in October 2020. Through the initiative, the FAA learned that development of terminal transition routes known as “T-routes” was one of the most asked for recommendations.
“With the GPS system, the pilots can fly lower to the ground, below the freezing level and still have the same precision navigation capability,” Gibbs said.Additionally, the routes give pilots a better idea of where the obstacles are located during their flight path.
