Plenary Session
- WAAS and LAAS: Something for Everyone, Building on Strengths for All Users
Although WAAS and LAAS both provide precision approach capability, both are fundamentally different systems.
Each system has its strengths and benefits the user community in different ways. The objective of this plenary
session is to explore the different strengths and benefits of each system for the various user groups such as
Commercial Air Transport, Air Cargo, Business and Commuter Aviation, General Aviation, and Helicopter
Operations.

San Diego - Another Name for Paradise |
IT’S CALIFORNIA’S OLDEST CITY, THE NATION’S
sixth largest city, and is proudly regarded as “America’s
Finest.” Splashed with spectacular sunny weather and
countless tourist and cultural attractions, San Diego is
justifiably another name for paradise.
Mission Bay
This 4,600-acre aquatic playground is the largest facility
of its kind in the world devoted to boating, fishing,
skiing, swimming, board sailing, and public recreation.
For swimmers and sunbathers, there are 27
miles of sun-bleached beaches with six designated
swimming areas.
The Catamaran Resort Hotel is on Mission Bay and
features a wide variety of boat rentals and water sport
activities.
Tijuana, Mexico
Tijuana is the most visited border city in the world. The
bazaar-like atmosphere makes bargaining for leather
goods, glassware, jewelry or pottery a unique shopping
experience, while the greyhound and horse races provide
a special excitement all their own. Savor the exotic,
exciting flavors of Mexican cuisine.
San Diego Zoo
The world-famous zoo celebrated its 75th birthday in
1991. This 100-acre tropical garden zoo has 3,900 animals
of 800 species and is noted for its exhibition of
many rare and exotic species.
Old Town
The first European settlement in California, Old Town
is where San Diego began. Old adobes and other historic
structures blend with fine restaurants and fascinating
shops to capture Old Town’s rich heritage, while
creating a popular attraction for visitors.
Seaport Village
This waterfront dining and shopping complex depicts
the harbor as it was a century ago. Located on 14 acres
along the Embarcadero, Seaport Village is composed of
more than 60 shops, boutiques and galleries where
visitors can browse to their heart’s delight.
Gaslamp Quarter
A historic downtown district recreates the spirit of Victorian
times through the restoration of old buildings that
now feature antiques, crafts, arts, restaurants, shops,
and offices all in the authentic tradition of that era.

Attention International Participants
|
|
We recommend that you apply for your visa at least
two months in advance due to security related policies
that have greatly increased the processing time for visa
applications.
U.S. consular officers now interview most
applicants as part of the application process. This can
add additional time and delays. Currently there is a
mandatory security check period of 30 days for people
whose passports are issued from several countries,
including China, North Korea, and most middle-eastern
countries. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department
requires citizens of many countries to obtain visas to
attend any scientific program.
|
After October 1, 2003, citizens from visa waiver
program (VWP) countries also will be required to obtain
a visa if they do not have a machine-readable passport.
You are urged to contact the nearest U.S. embassy,
or consulate, to find out if your government has been
granted a one-year delay of this rule or if you will need
to obtain a new passport prior to traveling.
For general information about visas go to: http:
//www7.nationalacademies.org/visas/. For Visa Waiver
Program & Machine Readable Passports information go
