Abstract :
The author discusses the integrity of the GPS (Global Positioning System) as applied to flight operations in the National Airspace System. A generic scenario for failure of navigation signals-in-space is defined. Concern is focused on the state of temporary navigation on notification of a failure, and subsequent recovery to continued radionavigation. Operational considerations are identified to reflect the impact on pilot and air traffic control. A comparison of receiver autonomous and GPS integrity channel monitoring is presented with regard to these considerations. General guidelines are suggested for assuring that GPS navigation equipment properly uses the integrity information to satisfy operational considerations of safety and workload
