Abstract:	Significant differences in the quality of measurements made by a ground receiver compared to an avionics receiver may arise due to the dynamics of the aircraft. Banking for turns, in particular, can cause the GNSS measurements to be adversely affected in a number of ways. This may include adverse effects on multipath, satellite outages, and cycle slips. This paper uses flight data to examine the effects that aircraft banking has on expected multipath error, the likelihood of satellite outages, and the likelihood of cycle slips. It then uses these insights to estimate effects on ARAIM availability due to outages that may occur during banking conditions. It is believed these assessments can allow for an improved understanding of GNSS measurement sensitivity to banking and also of potential effects on ARAIM availability during these maneuvers.
