Stations Request for Industry Input

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration requests information

and assistance in exploring various

methods and criteria for evaluation and

approval of commercially developed

ground facilities designed to provide

local area augmentation to the Global

Positioning System (GPS) by the

production and delivery of differential

corrections and integrity messages. The

FAA will host a meeting of interested

parties to provide a forum for

information exchange that will assist the

agency in evaluating the technical

merits, efficiency, and cost effectiveness

of the alternative methods under

consideration. In addition, interested

parties are invited to propose other

methods or criteria, not identified in

this notice but worthy of consideration,

that may improve or expedite the

evaluation and approval process. The

methods identified thus far for

consideration by the FAA are:

Mathematical modeling and predictive

analysis

Evironmental exposure testing

Bench testing

Operational testing

Spurious and harmonic radio frequency

emission and sensitivity testing

Software audit and validation

Flight testing

In addition to information on these or

other testing methods, comments on

their relative merit and benefits are

welcome.

DATES: The meeting will be held on

February 7–8, 1995.
