• Abstract:
  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center conducted this test project under Technical Program Document (TPO) 04-150 to determine the operational suitability of the Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR GPS) for rotary wing aircraft. The flight tests were conducted in a CH-53A helicopter using a prototype low-cost GPS receiver, the Magnavox Z-set. Over 15 hours of radar tracked en route and non-precision approach flight tests were flown with two-dimensional GPS derived guidance (cross-track and distance-to-go) used as the primary navigation system.
