AND GRADED A+)
What are the two main methods of correction data
trasmission? - ANSWER--FM radio tower beacon (USCG)
and (NDGPS)
-Communication satellite relay (WAAS,LAAS)
What are the two different types of radio beacon
transmission? - ANSWER--Maritime DGPS
-Nationwide DGPS (NDGPS)

What is Maritime DGPS? - ANSWER-A USCG service that
transmits real time GPS timing corrections on coast guard
radio beacon frequencies. Found in coastal areas.
At what rate does maritime DGPS accuracy decay at? -
ANSWER-For receivers more than 100 miles away from a
maritime DGPS station, accuracy decays at a rate of 1
meter/150km, or 1 yard/90 miles.
What are the three types of satellite relay transmission? -
ANSWER--WAAS
-LAAS
-Commercial DGPS
,3|Page
What is WAAS? - ANSWER-Wide Area Augmentation
System supplies DGPS data for commercial aircraft
making transcontinental flights.
What is LAAS? - ANSWER-Local Area Augmentation
System, enables precise navigational approach paths to
areas at or very near a commercial airport.
How often does OmniSTAR DGPS compute satellite
corrections? - ANSWER-Every 600 milliseconds
Who must install ALL DGPS equipment components? -
ANSWER-An FAA certified maintenance technician.

A basic DGPS component set consists of what? -
ANSWER--A lightbar
-A DGPS mobile receiver
-A DGPS antenna
What is a DGPS lightbar used for? - ANSWER-It enables
you to visualize off track errors and make corrections
quickly from the cockpit.
How often does the on board DGPS receiver send
correction signals to the light bar? - ANSWER-5 times per
second
