Specification: Performance Type One Local Area Augmentation System Ground Facility.


PB2000105837

Publication Date 1999
Page Count 122
Abstract This specification establishes the performance requirements for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Performance Type (PT) 1 Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) Ground Facility (LGF). Requirements contained within this specification are the basis to augment the Global Positioning System (GPS) to provide precision approach capability down to Category I minimums. The performance requirements are consistent with those requirements defined in the Requirements Document for the GPS Local Area Augmentation System (GPS/LAAS) (FAA, 1997), the Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards (MASPS) for the LAAS (RTCA/DO-245, 1998), and the Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for the LAAS (RTCA, draft version 14). The LGF is a safety-critical system consisting of the hardware and software that augments the GPS Standard Positioning Service (SPS) to provide for precision approach and landing capability in the United States National Airspace System (NAS).
