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.
