En-route (flight check) +/- 10°

VOR tolerances

En-route (flight check) +/- 3°


VOR check pt grnd +/-4° & 0.5 DME


Btwn 2 VORs +/- 4°


Air to ground check +/- 6°

CDI sensitivity

VOR = 10° full scale


LOC = 2.5° full scale

SSR

- line of sight range 200-300nm


- lat and vert id through mode C & S


- allows for MRVA in TCA (1000' clear)

PSR

- transponder not req


- able to see convective buildups


- range ~75nm



* both PSR & SSR in terminal areas

CAT 2 & 3 ILS

- OPS spec req


- pilot/aircraft/airport certified


- conducted in accordance with manual of all wx ops



Cat 2: 1/4sm 100'RA


Cat 3A: 1/8sm 50'RA


Cat 3C: 0/0

GNSS app at alternate

1. WAAS/RAIM integrity exp at ETA


2. 1x prior midpoint to dest, verify RAIM at dest and alt


3. Where satellite app planned both dest & alt, a/d seperated by:


- 75nm where both NU or N56° QB & LB


- 100nn elsewhere


4. For RNP


- no credit for LPV


- credit only barometric LNAV/VNAV

ADS-B

- surveillance technology where a/c determines pos via sat & broadcasts


- info received by ATC (no interrogation signal needed)


- can be received by other a/c (SA and separation)


- avionics components


i) high integrity GPS nav source


ii) data link

GNSS notams

TSO C129/C129a obtain sat outages through international NOTAM file "KNMH"


WAAS notams found on AWWS


- NOTAM issued any time outage


i. > 15mins


ii. 2 outages < 15mins ea separated by period less than 15mins


*if once arrived at a/d service is available, may be used as normal

MLAT on ground

- inc ATS situational awareness of a/c and vehicle ground movements


- full surveillance coverage of movement areas


- uses transponder


- check CFS for procedures

MLAT in air

- uses number of ground stations


- listen for reply to interogation signals


- replies received at different times


- computer calculates position


- uses replies from Mode A/C/S and ADS-B transponders

406 ELT

- relay pos info to appropriate JRCC


- activation detected by satellite


- beacon associated with unique user


- internal self test capability

Mode S transponder

- 3D pos


- sends pressure alt to ATC (independent of altimeter setting), ATC computer corrects for local pressure


- can operate TCAS


- interrogates A/C/S xponders


- if both mode S, RAs provided

SELCAL

- transmission of discrete audiotones from gnd stn to alert specific a/c


- decoder will alert crew if tones correspond to particular a/c


- light or chime activated


- indicates to listen on HF radio

Datalink

- advanced transponder system based on mode S


- auto transmits a/c speed, RoC, or clearance acknowledgement direct to controller
