Abstract:	In the Summer of 1995, Boeing, in conjunction with a number of industry partners, conducted a series of flight test experiments with four prototype multi-channel GPS Landing Systems. This flight test program was designed to supply data to support a larger overall program which focuses on the development of requirements for Satellite Navigation Precision Approach Systems. This program focuses on the development of requirements through analysis and simulation of various candidate architectures for the GNSS Landing System (GLS). Data from the flight test program is intended for use in validation of analysis and simulation capabilities currently under development. A previous paper described the flight test program and provided an overview of the on-going program the flight test data Supports. The previous paper also gave some preliminary results of the flight testing. This paper presents further results of the flight test with an emphasis on Navigation Sensor Error. The paper compares the NSE performance with emerging requirements for GLS. The paper also presents observations of airborne and ground station multipath errors for various types of receivers used in the testing. Data related to multi-channel GLS operation is also presented.
