Do I need RAIM if I have WAAS?
WAAS enhances the reliability of the GPS system and thus no longer requires a RAIM check if WAAS coverage is confirmed to be available along the entire route of flight; in this case the pilot can plan the flight to a destination and file an alternate airport using only the WAAS navigation capabilities.
Are TSO officers armed?
Most TSA employees are TSO’s who do not have arrest powers and do not carry weapons of any kind, including guns.
What is difference between TSA and TSO?
