POSITION ACCURACY FIELDS
FDE PREDICTION
NOTE
Under FAR parts 91, 121, 125, and 135, FDE must be used prior to all
oceanic or remote area flights using the GPS 175/GNX 375 as a primary
means of navigation.
This program uses an algorithm to predict FDE availability. If the unit has not been in
operation for more than six months, acquiring satellite data to establish almanac and
satellite orbit information may take 5 to 10 minutes.

FEATURE LIMITATIONS
•
Available only when the aircraft is on ground
•
Displays only on the Map page
LABEL POSITION DATA
EPU Estimated Position Uncertainty
HDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision
HFOM Horizontal Figure of Merit
VFOM Vertical Figure of Merit
Information fields indicate the
accuracy of the position fix.
HFOM and VFOM values
represent 95% confidence levels
in horizontal and vertical
accuracy.
Lower values mean higher
accuracy. Higher values are the
least accurate.
EPU is the horizontal position error estimated by the
fault detection and exclusion algorithm, in feet or
meters.
•
Depicts area surrounding the ownship when GPS
cannot accurately determine aircraft location
•
Expands as GPS horizontal accuracy degrades
•
Shrinks as accuracy improves
•
Translucent with minor shading so as not to
obstruct other features
