Abstract. We show the results of the implementation of a preliminary algorithm for excluding ionospherically unsafe satellite geometries in Ground-Based Augmentation Systems Category I. Minimum knowledge of the ionospheric treat model is assumed and the assistance of the code-carrier divergence monitor is not considered. All the satellites in view above 5• in elevation are included in the computations. The inflation of the standard deviation of the vertical ionospheric gradient implements the exclusion. Full availability remains for a typical day in the site of La Plata Airport.
