Important Notice
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States Department of Defense which is solely
responsible for the accuracy, daily operation, and maintenance of the satellite constellation. System accuracy
is affected by the Department of Defense’s Selective Availability (SA) and the Dilution of Precision (DOP)
attributed to poor satellite geometry.
Due to implementation of Selective Availability by the United States Department of Defense (DoD), all GPS
receivers may suffer degradation of position accuracy. The DoD has stated that 95% of the time horizontal
accuracy will not be degraded more than 100 m and 99.9% of the time accuracy will not be degraded more
than 300 m.
Installations of TSO C-129 authorized Apollo SL50/60’s may be approved for supplemental navigation only.
The Apollo SL50/60 may be used as the primary navigation data display, however, other means of navigation
appropriate to the intended route of flight must be installed and operational. It is not required that these other
systems be monitored.
