Summary: UNAVCO obtained precise GPS coordinates from the Siple Dome skiway centerlines which provided the air crews with the capability to fly non-precision approaches using GPS. This work was performed in conjunction with UNAVCO science support activities at Siple Dome. UNAVCO also provided data processing equipment to the ASA surveyors to process South Pole skiway data. GPS equipment and assistance was provided for the survey of the Williams Field and Pegasus runways. These surveys were performed using the real-time DGPS equipment.
