Planning
RAIM Prediction
NOTE
RAIM availability prediction is for use in areas where WAAS coverage is not available. It
is not required in areas where WAAS coverage is available.
FEATURE REQUIREMENTS
•
Active flight plan or off-route direct-to waypoint (arrival date and time)
FEATURE LIMITATIONS
FAA’s TSO requirements for non-precision approaches specify significantly greater satellite
coverage than is required during other phases of flight. As a result, RAIM may not be available
for all approaches.
RAIM prediction results are valid for up to 90 days from the current date. Arrival dates beyond
90 days, or in the past, may not provide accurate results.
This feature predicts the availability of fault detection integrity. It cannot predict the availability
of LPV or L/VNAV approaches.
Use a non-GPS based approach when RAIM is not available. To determine WAAS
availability, including for LPV approaches, visit the FAA’s NOTAM service.

Determine GPS coverage availability for the current location

checks to ensure that the navigator has adequate satellite
geometry during flight.

This feature can help you plan for a pending
flight by confirming GPS operation before
an approach.
