at the airport at juneau, alaska, at the state capital is based on high terrain.before gps we pilots only had two approaches for approaching landing at juneau and they're both very challenging. the approach from the east and the one from the west both required fairly high cloud ceilings and allow altitude for landing. without gps the terrain and weather conditions forced many flight cancellations. in 1996, alaska airlines pioneered a gps based approach to juneau, alaska, the pinpoint approach to the approach allows me to fly directly over the center of the channel as depicted up on the phone on the screen and stay clear of the high terrain around the channel and the airport. the result enhances safety and reducess delays and cancellations. since then, the alaska airlines has expanded the gps-based approach to other airports in the country. in 2011, the airport completed more than 1500 flights that would likely have been cancelled or diverted and the net result was $19 million worth of revenue and over 210,000 gallons worth of fuel that was not burned. across the u

, i suppose a nightmare scenario would be that i anticipated that i was putting myself back up in juneau that had a very highly reliable, highly effective navigation system and suddenly somebody flipped a switch on it, and then i had to go back to the old procedures. it would make me much more concerned about the safe conduct of the flight because now i'd be, have a lot less ability to have a very good estimate at what my arrival fuel would need to be at my missed approach point in order to get to my divert. and that kind of tailors on what mr. fuller just said. i think one of the big safety aspects of gps technology is it allows you to be more proactive and anticipate contingency situations further down the road. in this case, i would -- based upon what the arrival weather would be, i would estimate what a safe arrival fuel would be that would allow me to divert and go to an alternate and also have the coordinates of that alternate and have the approaches built into that alternate in my flight management system so it's all there, and i have a one-stop shop. and that is an incredible saf
