Development of Minimum Aviation System Performance Standards for DGNSS Instrument Approach Systems (DIAS)

Keith D. McDonald, Chairman, George T. Ligler

Abstract:	There has been considerable interest, research and experimentation during the past several years on the development and implementation of satellite based systems for the precision guidance of air- craft in their approach and landing pha:;e of flight. A number of factors have recently accelerated investigations in this area. The GPS constellation is maturing rapidly, GPS receiving equipment is achieving high levels of performance at moderate cost and recent test results have demonstrated clearly the capabilities and potential of GPS for precision approach applications. The advance- ments in GPS technology in relation to alternative systems are such that the aviation community is strongly committed to the exploitation of satellite techniques for precision approach applications. To accomplish this, appropriate standards are needed.
