| Abstract | Twelve general aviation pilots flew a Beechcraft Baron on 93 non-precision instrument approaches using a nondifferential GPS receiver nodifled to satisfy selected functional requirements specified in TS0-C129. The purposes of the effort were to deternine if the CDI sensitivity levels specified in the TSO were flyable by GA pilots and if flight technical error could be contained within trapezoids defined by TERPS criteria specified for approaches using off-site VORs. Pilots rated the sensitivity levels flyable, and flight technical error was well within VOR TERPS limits. Pilot performance during isissed approaches, and the use of GPS in the terminal area during IFR and VFR operations were identified as areas requiring additional research. |
