Method of Developing Flight Infrastructure in Conjunction with a Sale of an Aircraft

1 . A computer-implemented method for providing a WAAS infrastructure in conjunction with a sale of a WAAS enabled aircraft, comprising:

receiving a communication from a customer regarding a purchase of the WAAS enabled aircraft;

developing a sales package for the customer using a computer, the sales package comprising:

a first price for the WAAS enabled aircraft; and

a second price for the WAAS infrastructure;

wherein the sales package allows the customer to purchase the WAAS infrastructure and the WAAS enabled aircraft in a single process;

wherein the WAAS infrastructure represents a flight path between an operator desired departure area and an operator desired landing area.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

delivering the WAAS enabled aircraft to the customer after at least partially developing the WAAS infrastructure.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

maintaining the WAAS infrastructure after delivering the WAAS enabled aircraft to the customer after at least partially developing the WAAS infrastructure.

4 . A method, comprising:

offering development of a WAAS infrastructure in conjunction with a sale of a WAAS enabled aircraft;

assembling the WAAS enabled aircraft;

developing the WAAS infrastructure using a computer; and

providing the WAAS enabled aircraft and the WAAS infrastructure;

wherein the WAAS infrastructure allows a customer of the WAAS enabled aircraft to operate the WAAS enabled aircraft in a WAAS environment.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the WAAS infrastructure comprises:

a WAAS flight procedure representing a flight path between an operator desired departure area and an operator desired landing area.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

packaging the WAAS flight procedure on a memory device, the memory device being configured to be readable by the WAAS enabled aircraft.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the WAAS flight procedure includes a localizer performance with vertical guidance approach procedure to facilitate an approach and landing at the operator desired landing area.

8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the WAAS flight procedure enables an operator to fly between the operator desired departure area and the operator desired landing area during low visibility weather conditions.

9 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

maintaining the WAAS flight procedure for an operator.

10 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the offering development of a WAAS infrastructure in conjunction with a sale of a WAAS enabled aircraft is performed by a single entity, thereby allowing a customer to negotiate a price of a sales package which includes both the WAAS enabled aircraft and the WAAS infrastructure.

11 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the assembling the WAAS enabled aircraft and the developing the WAAS infrastructure using a computer occur concurrently.

12 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the assembling a WAAS enabled aircraft comprises:

transforming an airframe into the WAAS enabled aircraft by installing a WAAS system in the airframe.

13 . The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

training an operator in flying the WAAS enabled aircraft.

14 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein developing the WAAS infrastructure using a computer comprises:

inspecting a desired departure area and a desired landing area for compatibility with WAAS flight guidelines and abilities of the WAAS enabled aircraft.

15 . A method for accelerating the introduction of WAAS enabled aircraft into an aviation community, comprising:

manufacturing a WAAS enabled aircraft;

developing a WAAS infrastructure concurrently with the manufacturing of the WAAS enabled aircraft;

wherein the WAAS infrastructure allows a customer of the WAAS enabled aircraft to operate the WAAS enabled aircraft in a WAAS environment, thereby improving safety of the aviation community.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the WAAS infrastructure allows a customer of the WAAS enabled aircraft to operate the WAAS enabled aircraft in a WAAS environment, thereby increasing the efficiency of the WAAS enabled aircraft.

17 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the developing a WAAS infrastructure at least partially concurrent with the manufacturing the WAAS enabled aircraft allows the customer to operate the WAAS enabled aircraft in a WAAS environment upon taking delivery of the WAAS enabled aircraft.

18 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the manufacturing the WAAS enabled aircraft and the developing the WAAS infrastructure, are performed by a persons under the direction of a single entity.

19 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein the WAAS infrastructure includes a WAAS flight procedure.

20 . A method according to claim 15 , further comprising:

loading the WAAS infrastructure into an avionics system of the WAAS enabled aircraft.
