• 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.
