The GNSS manufacturer must indicate that the equipment satisfies the requirements for NACv =1 in the installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.
(2) NACV. = 2. For installations intending to support NACV = 2, the GNSS manufacturer must perform the velocity tests in AC 20-138C, Appendix 4 paragraphs A4-1 through A4-9 associated with NACv = 1 and NACv = 2. The GNSS manufacturer must present substantiation data that the equipment dynamically outputs HFOMV and VFOMV (see AC 20-138() appendix 4, paragraphs A4-5 and A4-8) and that the equipment velocity and accuracy outputs have passed the velocity tests associated with NACv = 1 and NACv = 2. The GNSS manufacturer must indicate that the equipment satisfies the requirements for NACv = 2 in the installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.
(3) NACV. = 3 or 4. No standard for performance has been developed to support NACV = 3 or 4. A NACV = 3 or NACV = 4 should not be set based on GNSS velocity accuracy unless you can demonstrate to the FAA that the error contributions have been adequately modeled to meet those levels of performance.
(4) TSO C129. Means of compliance for this TSO requires GNSS manufacturers to provide substantiation data based on the NACv =1 and NACv = 2 test as appropriate and document the NACV in the installation instructions for the ADS-B integration.

p. Mode output. If interpretation of the integrity output of the position source can change due to a change in the position source mode, the position source must have a way of communicating that change of mode to the ADS-B equipment. Additionally, the position source manufacturer should provide a description of the modes and a description of how the position source outputs the mode indication.

Means of compliance for this TSO requires GNSS manufacturers to provide installation instructions describing the modes available (if affecting interpretation of integrity output) and how the position source outputs the mode indication (See Integrity Limit, paragraph 4.g, of this appendix).
q. Approach mode integrity. SBAS equipment certified under any revision of TSO-C145 or TSO-C146 is required to have several modes of operation depending on the availability of augmentation. For example, when operating in an augmented mode intended for LPV approach guidance, the position source may determine HPL based on a lateral error versus a horizontal error and an exposure time based on the duration of the approach versus flight hour. Reference RTCA DO- 229D appendix J. If the position source outputs the HPL on lateral error and approach exposure time, it is possible that the ADS-B transmitter would need to inflate the HPL by 3% in approach modes to ensure the integrity is appropriately bounded. GBAS equipment is required to comply with the GNSS or SBAS requirements for the output of position data. This is an integration issue between the GPS and ADS-B transmitter. The position source manufacturer must provide information to the system integrator to determine if the integrity output needs to be scaled (i.e., by applying an inflation factor).
Although we do not address the interface of a GBAS differentially-corrected position source in this AC, it will have similar considerations in approach modes as SBAS.

(7) TSO C196/196a. This is not applicable to this TSO as no HPL scaling is applied.
r. Track angle validity. GNSS position sources can provide a track angle, however the GNSS track angle may become invalid below a certain velocity. Optimally, the position source should either invalidate or remove the track angle when it is no longer valid. If the position source does not invalidate the track angle or remove the track angle when it is potentially invalid, then the position source manufacturer must provide information on velocity limitations for GNSS track angle.
Appendix 2 A2-19 Note: 1: The interference levels used to demonstrate velocity accuracy compliance can be used for track angle validity as well.
(1) TSO C129. Means of compliance for TSO-C129 requires GNSS manufacturers to use the test environment and guidance defined in the latest revision of AC 20-138, appendix 4 paragraph 4-12.It is recommended that manufacturers use DO-229D, Appendix H for outputting track angle (ARINC 743 all revisions label 103) for those using ARINC 429 characteristics.

s. Time mark. GNSS position sources should output a UTC time mark identifying time of applicability with the successive position output. In modern sensors computing and outputting position multiple times per second, this time mark typically is associated with only one of the
Appendix 2 A2-20 position outputs per second. The time mark can be used by the ADS-B equipment to reduce uncompensated latency. For 1090ES, the time mark output is not required for installations to be rule compliant. When integrating a UAT with an external GPS, the design of the hardware time mark must be interoperable. Some GPS synchronize the leading edge of the time mark to the UTC second. Other GPS let the time mark pulse be asynchronous to the UTC second and then record the time of the leading edge in the digital data along with the position solution. The UAT equipment must support the GPS time mark design. If the UAT equipment and GPS do not share a common time mark design, the UAT equipment will not be properly synchronized with the ground system and other aircraft.

5. Tightly-coupled GNSS/ IRS position sources. This section provides high level guidance on the issues that will need to be addressed to qualify a tightly-coupled Global Navigation Satellite System / Inertial Reference System (GNSS/IRS) for use in an ADS-B system. You must propose to the FAA the method to approve a tightly-coupled GNSS/IRS for use in an ADS-B system.
a. The tightly-coupled GNSS/IRS outputs must meet the requirements, including validation, of either RTCA/DO-229(), appendix R, or RTCA/DO-316, appendix R.
Appendix 2 A2-22
b. Address the horizontal velocity accuracy.
c. The GNSS sensor should meet the minimum performance requirements for any revision of TSO-C129, TSO-C145, TSO-C146, or TSO-C196. Additionally, the GNSS sensor should meet all applicable GNSS requirements of this appendix as applicable.
d. Install the GNSS sensor(s) in accordance with AC 20-138(), Airworthiness Approval of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Equipment.
e. 14 CFR 91.227 requires a SIL = 3, which means the probability of exceeding the NIC containment radius should be less than 1x10-7 per hour or per sample. The tightly-coupled GNSS/IRS system should transmit the integrity quality metric on a “per-hour” basis. After loss of GNSS or GNSS RAIM, the hybrid system should report the integrity containment radius of 1x10-7 probability on a per sample basis rather than on a per hour basis. Doing so would allow the GNSS/IRS system to transmit at a probability of 1x10-7 for a longer period of time.
(1) RTCA/DO-229D appendix R, paragraph 2.1 requires tightly-coupled systems to meet two integrity limits. The integrity limit for the faulted satellite case is 1x10-7. The integrity limit for fault free (rare normal) case is 1x10-5. RTCA/DO-229D appendix R, paragraph 2.1.1 acknowledges that in tightly integrated systems that inertial coasting may cause the rare normal limit to be dominant over the limit for the faulted conditions in times of poor satellite coverage. If the HPL output from the tightly-coupled position source changes from the fault detection 1x10-7 basis to the fault free 1x10-5 basis the position source needs to indicate this change to the ADS-B equipment. We recommend the position source use a 1x10-7 integrity basis in all modes.
(2) If the integrity containment probability output of the tightly-coupled GNSS/IRS position source changes from per hour to per sample following a loss of GNSS or a loss of GNSS RAIM, then the position source must indicate this change to the ADS-B equipment (i.e. SIL Supplement).
(3) If the tightly-coupled GNSS/IRS scales the inertial integrity from 1x10-5 to 1x10-7, the scaling must have been demonstrated during design approval of the position source. If the inertial basis is per sample and is scaled to per hour, this scaling must have been demonstrated during the position source design approval.
f. If a tightly coupled GNSS/IRS position source is intended to be used as an ADS-B position source after the loss of GNSS, include integrity coasting performance in the flight manual. Specifically address:
(1) If inertial coasting will meet 14 CFR 91.227 requirements, such as NACP = 8, NIC = 7, SIL = 3, and SDA = 2.
(2) Estimated length of time following a loss of GNSS for which inertial coasting is expected to meet the 14 CFR 91.227 requirements. The estimate should assume the system met minimum 14 CFR 91.227 requirements just prior to the loss of GNSS or GNSS RAIM. This estimate will be helpful to operators in developing a means to assure that the system can meet
