Using Seasonal Monitor Data to Assess Aviation Integrity
نویسندگان
چکیده
As we become increasing dependent on GPS for many position, navigation, and time (PNT) applications, it becomes increasing important that we have an alternate means of obtaining those capabilities. This is especially important in critical applications such as aviation. As part of the ongoing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Loran evaluation, the system is being assessed for its ability provide stand alone navigation capability through all phases of flight. This will allow users to retain much of the functionality enjoyed when using GPS should the system be unavailable.

Using X-band Weather Radar Measurements to Monitor the Integrity of Digital Elevation Models for Synthetic Vision Systems
Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) provide pilots with displays of stored geo-spatial data representing terrain, obstacles, and cultural features. As comprehensive validation is impractical, these databases typically have no quantifiable level of integrity. Further, updates to the databases may not be provided as changes occur. These issues limit the certification level and constrain the operationa...
