Ohio University WAAS/LAAS FIC Reports

Development of Provisional Flight Inspection Concepts for LAAS Approach Procedures

The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is capable of supporting precision and non-precision approach procedures. In addition, it is capable of providing airport surface guidance. In order to implement the LAAS within the National Airspace System (NAS), flight inspection criteria for LAAS must be developed. The five assessment activities to be addressed in this report include: waypoint accuracy, flyability of approach procedures, presence of RF interference, obstruction environment, and VHF data broadcast coverage. This report presents preliminary flight inspection concepts for accomplishing these assessment activities.
