Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes ground tests of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the terminal area at the Atlantic City International Airport. The purpose of the Runway Incursion Program is to investigate the application of GPS as a navigation aid to allow the pilot to safely traverse airport taxiways and runways under poor visibility conditions. The primary objective of the tests was to resolve the critical issue of differential GPS accuracy as a function of the differential update rate.

This book was released on 2018-06-03 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NASA/Langley Research Center collaborated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test a Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in October 2000. The RIPS combines airborne and ground sensor data with various cockpit displays to improve pilots' awareness of traffic conditions on the airport surface. The systems tested at DFW involved surface radar and data systems that gather and send surface traffic information to a research aircraft outfitted with the RIPS software, cockpit displays, and data link transceivers. The data sent to the airborne systems contained identification and GPS location of traffic. This information was compared with the own-ship location from airborne GPS receivers to generate incursion alerts. A total of 93 test tracks were flown while operating RIPS. This report compares the accuracy of the airborne GPS systems that gave the own-ship position of the research aircraft for the 93 test tracks.Quach, Cuong C.Langley Research CenterAIRBORNE EQUIPMENT; POSITION (LOCATION); RUNWAYS; ACCIDENT PREVENTION; AEROSPACE SAFETY; FLIGHT TESTS; ACCURACY; AIRPORTS; GROUND TESTS; RADAR DATA; COCKPITS; GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM; DATA ACQUISITION; DATA LINKS; DATA SYSTEMS; RESEARCH AIRCRAFT

Download or read book Flight Test Evaluation of a Differential Global Positioning System Sensor in Runway Performance Testing written by Kenneth Paul Germann and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses the use of a carrier phase differential global positioning system (DGPS) receiver set in basic takeoff and landing performance flight testing. A technique for using DGPS receivers as theodolites in takeoff and landing performance tests is developed. Both position and velocity data are available from a DGPS receiver. As a result distances can be calculated by differencing the position coordinates or by integrating the available ground velocities. Both of these techniques are used and compared to a traditional video theodolite system for ground roll distances. . The viability of using DGPS ground speed data in lieu of air data in calculating the distance to clear a barrier is also explored. These methods are used to determine the nominal takeoff and landing performance of an experimental general aviation airplane. Test results are mixed. DGPS velocity integration yields good results for ground phase calculations. All other results are inconclusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The FAA has established a program to demonstrate the feasibility of differential GPS (DGPS) based technology for Category (CAT) IIIb precision approach and landing applications. DGPS includes code corrections and phase differencing or phase correction (real-time kinematic) techniques. Contractors will provide complete systems including ground reference and signal monitor equipment, ground-air data link, and an aircraft instrumented with DGPS receiver/processor driving a flight director/autopilot. Several contractor systems are expected to undergo flight testing and optional satellite simulator testing. This Level 1 plan describes the test concepts and objectives, and also outlines the preparation of Level 2 and Level 3 Test Plans. The primary objective of the flight test is to demonstrate whether a contractor is DGPS system meets either sensor accuracy requirements for CAT IIIb approaches or the total system error requirements of the new tunnel-in-space concept. Additional objectives are to demonstrate adequate integrity and continuity of service. This plan describes specific objectives, guidelines and measures of success (MOSs) for the flight tests. The primary objective of the optional satellite simulator testing is to determine the robustness and integrity characteristics of a contractor's system in response to variations in satellite signals that cannot readily be produced during flight testing. This plan describes specific characteristics to be measured by the satellite simulator testing. Differential GPS, Precision approach test plan.

Book excerpt: This report describes flight tests conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center to examine the performance of the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) in the Terminal Area. The tests employed a Convair 580 (CV-580) and a pair of Motorola Eagle Mini Rangers. With the advent of a maturing Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation, the FAA is assuming a more intensive stance in addressing the many questions/problems associated with GPS. These DGPS tests investigated the obtainable accuracy under static and dynamic conditions. The static tests employed survey points as a baseline. The dynamic tests incorporated Terminal Area flight profiles and nonprecision approaches using a laser tracker as a base line. The accuracy performance of DGPS showed an order of magnitude improvement in the static environment and a 4-5 fold improvement in the dynamic environment over stand alone GPS. The DGPS tests were conducted in an effort to build an FAA DGPS data base to aid in addressing GPS questions/problems.
