1
C/A code-tracking channels
Time to First Fix Less than 75 seconds, 95% confidence, under nominal conditions:
1) Initial time within ±10 seconds, initial position within 2 kilometers
2) Valid almanac
3) At least 4 satellites are at or more than 20° above horizon
4) HDOP < 6
Horizontal Position Accuracy
32 meters radial, 95% confidence, HDOP = 1.5, outside SBAS coverage, limited
by ionospheric model error provided by GPS satellites
Measurement Accuracy
(SBAS PA Mode only)
GPS satellites: Airborne Accuracy Designator B requirements as per DO-229D
section 2.1.4.1.4
- PR error < .15 m RMS at minimum signal level
- PR error < .11 m RMS at maximum signal level
SBAS satellites: As per DO-229D section 2.1.4.1.5
- PR error < 1.8 m RMS at minimum signal level
- PR error < 1.0 m RMS at maximum signal level
Velocity Accuracy
0.33 knots (0.17m/s) horizontal, 95% confidence, steady-state, HDOP = 1.5
5.33 knots (2.74 m/s) horizontal, 95% confidence, Dynamics within normal
maneuvers (as per RTCA/DO-229D section 2.1.2.5), HDOP = 1.5
68 ft/min (1.13 ft/s) vertical, 95% confidence, steady-state, VDOP = 3.0
574.34 ft/min (9.57 ft/s) vertical, 95% confidence, Dynamics within normal
maneuvers (as per RTCA/DO-229D section 2.1.2.5), VDOP = 3.0
