Abstract:	NASA Ames Research Center is working with the FAA to assess the feasibility of DGPS for precision approach and landing. A DGPS/INS navigation system was developed and flight tested in a twin engine transport aircraft. Flight tests were conducted using auto-coupled guidance to 50 f and the aircraft was laser tracked to determine its true trajectory. The navigation system performance was evaluated with criteria established for Category III precision landing systems.
