This
four-day short course is designed to give a complete understanding
of GPS systems and its applications in the General Aviation and
Air Carrier environments. The course identifies the
strengths and weaknesses of the GPS system and how they can impact
current and proposed Avionics Systems which utilize the GPS as a
primary navigational input. The course addresses FAA
regulations and approval criteria including: Minimal
Operating Performance Standards, Integrity monitors (RAIM),
Installation requirements and Airworthiness approvals. The
subject material also includes GPS evaluations and Flight Test,
Human Factors considerations and operational limitations. The
course concludes with a discussion on the future of GPS in the
areas of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), Local Area
Augmentation System (LAAS), Future Air Navigation System (FANS),
Terrain Avoidance Warning Systems and IFF reporting systems
(ADS-B). In order to reinforce the classroom lectures, the
course includes two flights with hands-on GPS, coupled autopilot,
RAIM and Flight Management System.
Who
Should Attend: This course is designed for all individuals
requiring an in-depth explanation of the capabilities and
limitations of the Global Positioning System, regulatory material
and future requirements in world-wide navigation. The course
is ideal for an Avionics Corporation’s Systems and Technical
representatives, owners and operators of integrated GPS systems,
Flight Test engineers and Program Managers or Air Carrier Training
Departments.
