In this paper we discuss the first results from a set of flight experiments. The objective was to show that terrestrial ranging can support aviation services with sufficient accuracy for non-precision approach. The experimental setup is based on using LDACS signals to provide pseudorange measurements. The data analysis reveals that the position solutions are compliant with RNP 1 standards. We also propose the feasibility of RNP 0.3 using LDACS as terrestrial ranging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
