- Contexto
- Conventional navigation aid coverage limitations affect minimum en-route altitude (MEA) on airways. In some cases, this requires aircraft to fly at higher altitudes where oxygen may be required or where icing conditions exist. As opposed to conventional navigation aids, GNSS provides coverage to the ground, so MEA can be based on considerations of terrain, obstructions and communications coverage.
