Appendix B B-7 B.4.3.2 The FAA plans to integrate the availability of backup surveillance systems with ADS-B, including SSR and Wide Area Multilateration, to mitigate the impact of loss of GNSS performance due to current limitations of operator GNSS receivers and the health of the constellation. Backup surveillance will not be available in all airspace, and operators should select an ADS-B positioning source that provides the necessary availability for their route of flight. The FAA plans to implement a preflight GPS service availability determination system to assist operators in determining surveillance availability for ADS-B before flight. This tool will consider the operator’s GNSS equipage and the GPS constellation that is predicted to be available at the planned flight time. The tool will also consider the status of existing backup surveillance capability along with the required positioning performance for the separation standard ATC is authorized to apply along the operator’s defined route of flight.

Table B-2. Estimated GNSS Availabilities (Minimum Threshold Constellation) Positioning Service (Receiver Standard) Predicted Availability (ADS-B Compliance) GPS (TSO-C129) (SA On) ≥ 89.0% GPS (TSO-C196) (SA Off) ≥ 99.0% GPS/SBAS (TSO-C145/TSO-C146) ≥ 99.9% B.4.4 Horizontal Position Integrity.

GNSS position sources must have a horizontal position integrity (such as HIL or HPL) output qualified during the system’s TSOA or design approval to determine NIC.

B.4.4.1 TSO-C129.

The requirements outlined for Class A, B, and C equipment provide horizontal integrity through RAIM algorithms under RTCA/DO-208 change 1, Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Airborne Supplemental Navigation Equipment Using Global Positioning System (GPS), section 2.2.1.13. However, there is no requirement to compute or output HPL. To properly comply with the ADS-B requirements, additional means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to provide substantiation data showing that the equipment outputs a 1x10-7/hr HPL based on the RAIM algorithm at least once per second that meets a 10-second time to alert. This AC recommends an 8-second time to alert. The protection level value is acceptable as an HPL if the equipment performs the test in RTCA/DO-208 change 1, section 2.5.2.5 using this protection level value for comparison against the alarm limit.

Equipment using the least-squares residual RAIM method recommended in RTCA/DO-208 change 1, appendix F provides an acceptable HPL.

Appendix B B-8 B.4.4.2 TSO-C129a.

The requirements outlined for Class A, B, and C equipment provide horizontal integrity through RAIM algorithms under RTCA/DO-208 change 1, section 2.2.1.13. However, there is no requirement to compute or output HPL. To properly comply with the ADS-B requirements, additional means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to provide substantiation data showing that the equipment outputs a 1x10-7/hr HPL based on the RAIM algorithm at least once per second that meets a 10-second time to alert. This AC recommends an 8-second time to alert. The protection level value is acceptable as an HPL if the equipment performs the test in RTCA/DO-208 change 1, section 2.5.2.5 using this protection level value for comparison against the alarm limit.

B.4.6 Integrity Fault Alerts.

GNSS position source manufacturers must provide design data on the maximum time the position source can take to indicate an integrity fault. If the fault indication is mode specific, data on all modes must be included. It is recommended that the indication of an integrity fault be provided within 8 seconds across all modes. All revisions of TSO-C145, TSO-C146, and TSO-C196 GNSS equipment meet this requirement. No revisions of TSO-C129 GNSS equipment meet this requirement without meeting further qualifications outlined below. Receivers compliant with ARINC Characteristic 743A-5, GNSS Sensor, dated May 2009, represent the condition where a satellite fault has been detected but the receiver was unable to exclude the faulted satellite by setting bit 11 of label 130. This bit must be interpreted to set the position invalid regardless of the indicated HIL or HPL.

2.1.1.11 and 2.1.2.2.2.1 through 2.1.2.2.2.4.

B.4.7 Position Integrity Limits.

This requirement was previously called Integrity Validity Limit. Single-frequency RAIM-based HPL computations have been designed to support navigation applications and provide an appropriate error bound down to approximately 0.1 nm. Although HPL values significantly smaller than 0.1 nm can be output from single-frequency GNSS sources, if the HPL value was computed using RAIM, it may not actually achieve the reported level of protection as there are error contributions that are no longer negligible and should be taken into consideration. Such error sources specifically include correlation of ionospheric errors across satellites, tropospheric delay compensation errors, multipath, and receiver noise errors. This issue is not unique to unaugmented GPS position sources, as all revisions of TSO-C145 and TSO-C146 GNSS position sources also calculate integrity based on RAIM when Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) integrity is not used. Even when using SBAS augmentation, the integrity calculation is not required to account for these error sources except when in LNAV/VNAV or LPV/LP approach modes. ADS-B capable position sources must provide design information to the installer that identifies the following:

B.4.7.1 Whether a TSO-C129 or TSO-C196 position source limits the HPL output to greater than 75 meters. If the position source does not limit its HPL output, the position source manufacturer should provide guidance to the ADS-B system installer to ensure the ADS-B equipment limits the NIC to ≤ 8. Although single-frequency RAIM-based HPL values are only accurate down to approximately 0.1 nm, for ADS-B purposes, the position source only need limit the HPL to greater than 75 meters, because an HPL greater than 75 meters ensures the ADS-B equipment will only set a NIC of ≤ 8.

B.4.7.1.1 TSO-C129.

Means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to present substantiation data whether HPL is limited or not, and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

B.4.7.1.2 TSO-C129a.

Means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to present substantiation data whether HPL is limited or not, and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

B.4.7.2 Whether a TSO-C145 or TSO-C146 position source limits the HPL in non-SBAS augmented modes to greater than 75 meters. If the position source does not limit the HPL output in non-augmented modes, the position source manufacturer should provide guidance to the ADS-B system installer to ensure the ADS-B equipment limits the NIC to ≤ 8 in non-augmented modes. The position source manufacturer should also provide instructions on how to determine the position source mode if appropriate.

B.4.7.2.1 TSO-C145/146 Rev a Class 1.

Means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to present substantiation data whether HPL is limited or not, and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

Either the GNSS source equipment sets the K-Factor for HPL, or the ADS-B equipment applies proper scaling. The GNSS manufacturer must present substantiation data on which K-Factor is used and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

B.4.7.2.3 TSO-C145/146 Rev b/c/d Class 1.

Means of compliance for this TSO require GNSS manufacturers to present substantiation data whether HPL is limited or not, and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

Installations intending to support NIC ≥ 9 must use LNAV/VNAV or LPV/LP approach requirements (RTCA/DO-229D, section 2.1) at the time of HPL output, in accordance with TSO-C145/C146 Rev b/c, but the enroute through LNAV K-Factor (6.18 vs. 6) must be applied (refer to RTCA/DO-229D appendix J, section 3.1 and appendix U, section 4).

Appendix B B-13 Either the GNSS source equipment sets the K-Factor for HPL, or the ADS-B equipment applies proper scaling. The GNSS manufacturer must present substantiation data on which K-Factor is used and provide proper installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

B.4.8 Horizontal Position Accuracy.

GNSS position sources should provide an HFOM output that was demonstrated during the position source’s design approval or during an installation approval. GNSS certified under TSO-C145b/c, TSO-C146b/c/d, or all revisions of TSO-C196 are required to provide the HFOM output. TSO-C129, TSO-C145a, and TSO-C146a do not contain a horizontal position accuracy output requirement; however, all equipment must provide a HFOM output to be considered an ADS-B compliant position source.

Note: The intent is to output position, velocity, and HFOM in a consistent manner for time of applicability (refer to RTCA/DO-229D, sections 2.1.2.6 and 2.1.2.6.2).

B.4.8.1 TSO-C129.

Means of compliance for this TSO are defined in RTCA/DO-316, section 2.1.2.6 (also refer to section 1.7.1 and appendix H of RTCA/DO-316).

B.4.9 Geometric Altitude.

All GNSS position sources must output a geometric altitude. Geometric altitude for ADS-B purposes is the height above the WGS-84 ellipsoid (that is, it is not MSL).

We recommend that the GNSS position source output geometric altitude as Height-Above-Ellipsoid (HAE). Some GNSS position sources provide Height-Above-Geoid (HAG) instead of HAE. The position source manufacturer must provide data on whether the position source outputs HAE or HAG.

B.4.9.1 TSO-C129.
