EPU Estimated Position Uncertainty
HDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision
HFOM Horizontal Figure of Merit
VFOM Vertical Figure of Merit
Information fields indicate the
accuracy of the position fix.
HFOM and VFOM values
represent 95% confidence levels
in horizontal and vertical
accuracy.
Lower values mean higher
accuracy. Higher values are the
least accurate.
EPU is the horizontal position error estimated by the
fault detection and exclusion (FDE) algorithm, in feet
or meters.
Depicts area surrounding the ownship when GPS
cannot accurately determine aircraft location
Expands as GPS horizontal accuracy degrades
Shrinks as accuracy improves
