Motiv<strong>at</strong>ion / Background: precision GNSS landing applic<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

Space Based Augment<strong>at</strong>ion System (SBAS)<br />

e.g. EGNOS for LPV in Europe, WAAS in CONUS<br />

Ground Based Augment<strong>at</strong>ion System (GBAS)<br />

GPS-Stand alone (GAST C equals CAT I)<br />

GPS with augment<strong>at</strong>ion (GAST D equals CAT III)<br />

Dual constell<strong>at</strong>ion GPS (GAST F equals CAT III)<br />

Worldwide ongoing research and development for<br />

GBAS with different kinds of install<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

Advantage: GBAS and SBAS can be used for<br />

straight-in and flexible approach procedures with one<br />

navig<strong>at</strong>ion system for all phases of flight<br />

<strong>Current</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Activities</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Braunschweig</strong><br />

3 approaches<br />

one „Haneda“ approach<br />

two „Kansai“ approaches<br />

approaches have been<br />

flown with continuous<br />

descent, but without<br />

online guidance


Conclusions and Outlook<br />

<strong>Braunschweig</strong> offers a unique research and test environment for GBAS approach<br />

procedure design and testing, especially for dual-constell<strong>at</strong>ion (GPS/Galileo) applic<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

Curved and segmented approach procedures have been shown and valid<strong>at</strong>ed with<br />

research and commercial aircraft<br />

Even with high requirements for GAST-D approaches these flexible approach procedures<br />

will be possible<br />

Continuous work will be done <strong>at</strong> <strong>Research</strong> Airport <strong>Braunschweig</strong> by University and DLR<br />
