Abstract:This checklist is designed to assist FAA certification personnel and GPS receiver manufacturers in the evaluation of the pilot-system interface characteristics of GPS receivers to be certified according to TSO C129 A1, RTCA/DO-208, and AC 20-138. Controls, displays, and operating characteristics are the main focus of this checklist. Presently the checklist does not address receiver hardware and functional characteristics that do not require direct pilot involvement, such as data reliability, failure protection, and data continuity during aircraft maneuvering. This checklist is arranged in three major sections: Bench Test, Flight Test, and Appendices. The Bench Test is designed to evaluate GPS receiver design characteristics that do not require aircraft installation and flight. The Flight Test is designed to evaluate receiver design characteristics and functions under actual flight conditions (e.g., Waypoint Sequencing & Turn Anticipation). The Appendices are designed to provide reference material for the specific topics covered in the checklist. 237p. Note: The version of the checklist in this record link is downloadable as a Word document; users who wish to download this document may do so either the computer hard drive or to a disc. This checklist may also be viewed as in .pdf format at < http://www.faa.gov/asd/international/GUIDANCE_MATL/GPS-CHKL.pdf>.
