Satellite navigation has played a key role in the aviation industry for years, and the adoption of GNSS in aviation has helped improve and provide additional positioning services for numerous flight phases in both commercial and leisure flying. 

​

Planning aircraft routes, timing landings, and distancing planes correctly at the airport are all vital to commercial flight operations and human safety. GNSS works with extreme precision in order to help execute these processes without flaw, ultimately providing economic and social benefits in the form of efficiency. 

​

Other applications for GNSS in aviation include:

​

• Altitude Determination

• En-route Flight and Area Navigation

• Performance-Based Operations
