3 . Where can you find information on GPS satellite outages?
Coast Guard Navigation information service.
All the answers are correct.
NOTAMs.
RAIM prediction on certain systems.
All the answers are correct.
4 . RAIM allows the GPS receiver to:
Detect satellite malfunctions.
Determine a malfunction on the device.
Perform integrity monitoring.
Perform Regular Automatic Integrated Maintenance (RAIM).
Perform integrity monitoring.
, 5 . How many satellites are necessary for Fault Detection and Exclusion with baro-

6 . When determining if a satellite is providing corrupt information, why should the GPS
derived altitude NOT be used in lieu of baro-aiding?
GPS receivers have altitude errors greater than 100 feet which could cause CFIT
accidents.
GPS derived altitude may only be used in newer models of GPS receivers.
It will interfere with baro-aiding functions and may not provide accurate navigation as a
result.
GPS vertical errors will make integrity monitoring functions invalid.
GPS vertical errors will make integrity monitoring functions invalid.
7 . How can the pilot receive satellite NOTAMs?
The GPS device will notify you of any satellite outages when you turn it on.
They are automatically given during a briefing on the route of flight.
You must check them on the Coast Guard website.
By requesting GPS aeronautical information during a briefing.
By requesting GPS aeronautical information during a briefing.
8 . What does RNP mean?
Required Navigation Performance.
Required Needed Performance.
Regular Navigational Planning.
Regular Navigational Performance.
Required Navigation Performance.
9 . The 0.3 sensitivity on the GPS is for which mode of flight?
