mmm... where did I read something similar before? ;) http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/leapsecs/2008-December/000913.html

I'm working also in an application where I need to use TAI (it seems that internal time distribution inside ESA Sentinel Satellites is TAI.. or TAPF :) ). But I suppose that GPS time - 19 sec will be precise enough for the application.

Regards,

Javier

If you take the leap seconds out of UTC (in fact UTC(GPS), steered close to UTC(USNO)), you will _not_ get TAI, just UTC(GPS)-34s...!

You will get TAPF = Temps Atomique Pedant-Free!  TAPF is identical with
TAI in every respect except for not having the assinine prohibition
against its use.

I love TAPF, it's my favourite time scale.
