GNSS and Performance-Based Navigation

Start with satellite augmentation

Begin with Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS). The note asks about systems used in Europe, the segments of SBAS and the errors corrected by it. Use those prompts to organize what you know before moving on to the questions in SBAS Quiz. The quiz covers ionospheric errors and EGNOS accuracy.

As you work, return to the note when a question points to an area you want to study again. The note and quiz offer a way to move between a summary prompt and question practice.

Explore signals and flight management

NAVSTAR Questions asks about satellite segments and the information carried by navigation signals. Try it after studying the augmentation note if you want to practice questions about the satellite system itself.

Flight Management & GNSS includes questions about flight management calculations and a fuel-flow scenario. You can use it to explore a different set of questions on the same page, alongside the material focused on satellite systems.

Use maps and flashcards alongside quizzes

The mind map on guidance for applying GNSS standards includes material on GBAS, GRAS and integrity. The technical specifications mind map includes monitoring and integrity monitoring for GNSS ranging sources. Browse the relevant map when you want to follow a technical point raised by a quiz question.

The PBN flashcards ask about components, data, accuracy and integrity. Other decks include questions about the Garmin 430W and IFD440. Use the cards to practice recalling terms and details, then return to a quiz for question practice.

Place the topic in the unit

This topic is part of the wider unit in Aviation. Its mix of notes, questions, maps and cards gives university students and professional candidates several ways to study the listed navigation material, while teachers can explore it for teaching resources. Choose a resource and build a study sequence that suits you.
