Full Description

This document contains Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for airborne navigation equipment (2D and 3D) using the Global Positioning System (GPS) augmented by Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS); which, in the U.S. is the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). DO-229 only provides standards for single frequency airborne navigation equipment. A separate document will be created in the future to address standards for dual frequency equipment. These standards are intended to be applicable to other SBAS providers, such as European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), Japan's Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) and India's GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation System (GAGAN).

This new version of the Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Global Positioning System/Satellite-Based Augmentation System Airborne Equipment systems has been produced to introduce requirements tags. This will facilitate the comparison of these single frequency, GPS only requirements with the future dual frequency, multiconstellation requirements. On very few, specific cases, editorial clarifications of a requirement have been introduced. This version of the document is technically equivalent to RTCA DO-229E.
