Some important points to observe, when carrying out validation checks on ADS-B equipment:
The aircraft GPS needs a clear view of the sky/GPS constellation to generate a good Horizontal Protection Limits
(HPL)/NUC/NIC value. Normally the testing results inside a hangar are not acceptable due to satellite blocking and
multipath.

A GNSS simulator such as the GPSG-1000 is a cost effective alternative to using the live constellation.

GPS Accuracy & Reported Accuracy

GPS accuracy is dependent on a number of factors such as :

The User Equivalent Range Errors (UERE) including Ionospheric effects, Ephemeris errors, satellite
clock errors, multipath etc; and Satellite geometry
The accuracy is a function of HDOP * UERE where HDOP is the Horizontal Dilution of Precision, a
measure of the position accuracy degradation due to satellite geometry.

Typical GPS errors (95%) are as follows depending on the number and geometry of satellites received :
GPS system with SA activated ± 100 Metres (no longer relevant because SA is deactivated)
GPS system with SA deactivated ± 15 Metres
SBAS augmented GPS ± 1 - 3 Metres

Reported Accuracy & Integrity

For GPS receivers which are not SA aware, the accuracy and integrity REPORTED which are then used
in ADS-B messages, is based on an ASSUMED value of UERE, corresponding to the period when SA was
active.
This value is grossly larger than the accuracy of the positional data delivered now that SA is inactive.

For SA OFF/SA aware receivers, some report accuracy and integrity values based on the assumed UERE
in the SA inactive environment and some determine the UERE from the GPS message contents.
Thus SA aware systems report more realistic accuracy and integrity values.

 ADS-B Accuracy & Integrity Reporting

• GPS accuracy is reported by GPS receivers in a parameter called

Horizontal Figure of Merit (HFOM)

• GPS integrity is reported by GPS receivers in a parameter called

Horizontal Protection Limit (HPL)

• The reported accuracy and integrity are further modified by ADS-B Transponders in
the DO-260, DO-260A & DO-260B encoding process, resulting in NAC, NIC & NUC

• DO260A & DO260B Accuracy: Navigation Accuracy Category (NAC)

• DO260A & DO260B Integrity: Navigation Integrity Category (NIC)

• DO260 Integrity: Navigation Uncertainty Category (NUC)

• Accuracy is not reported in DO-260

The test provides a convenient means of bringing

together many of the test elements we have seen
NIC=8 N ACV=1
over the last few slides. The test reduces the time

Target Capability of the 6000

The 6000 does not have a multiple dynamic ADS-B Target Generation capability
however, it is capable of generating either an airborne or surface single static
target. A DO-260B ADS-B aircraft target typically comprises of…

Airborne: 5 extended squitter BDS messages

BDS 0,5 Air Position
BDS 0,8 Identity & Category
BDS 0,9 Airborne Velocity
BDS 6,1 Aircraft Status
BDS 6,5 Aircraft Operational Status

Surface: 4 extended squitter BDS messages

ADS-B GEN List Screen

The ADS-B GEN List screen displays the available

BDS registers for transmission as extended
squitter.

The up down keys are used to select the desired

BDS. The selected BDS may be ENABLED by
pressing the BDS ON key, which also becomes the
BDS OFF key if the BDS is already ENABLED.

 Setting up a DO-260B Airborne Target - BDS 6,5

Ensure the VERSION is set to 2-DO-260B.

Ensure the AA is different to the Aircraft under

test.

Also ensure the MANUAL AA in the setup menu is

set to the same AA setting in all the GEN BDS
screens.

Ensure that NACP is set so the EPU is less than the

Rc set in the NIC field in BDS 0,5
