Abstract:	This paper presents an overview of the fina.l flight test results in a program to develop a new standards and criteria for GPS terminal instrument procedures. The results presented here are being obtained in an ongoing test program at the University of Oklahoma (OU) for the evaluation of non-precision and precision WAAS approaches using a GPS navigation system in category A and B aircraft. The OU program is a coordinated partner program with the category C and D aircraft ongoing and managed by the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City. This paper will present University of Oklahoma results of flight tests on the basic ‘“I”, straight in, complex and long finaI non precision GPS approaches. The paper will present final results of isoprobability contours based on the data that has been obtained to date. In addition the paper will present a summary of pilot reactions to the procedures using the GPS navigation systems used to conduct the tests.
