Note 1.— “An Indication” may include, <strong>for</strong> example, a flag <strong>for</strong> invalid position report, or a change in NIC, or switching<br />

to another data source.<br />

Note 2.— A problem <strong>for</strong> installations that include currently available GNSS receivers <strong>and</strong> FMS systems is that SIL is<br />

not output by these systems. Most implementers are expected to determine SIL by off-line analysis of the installed<br />

configuration. This off-line analysis can be per<strong>for</strong>med on the various primary <strong>and</strong> alternate means of determining the<br />

reported position. SIL is a static value <strong>for</strong> each of these configurations.<br />

Note 3.— The vertical integrity containment column only applies to NIC values greater than 8.<br />

Note 4.— The SIL code value is the lower of the horizontal or vertical coding values.<br />

Note 5.— It is recognized that there are three possible derivations of SIL: (a) the integrity value provided by<br />

navigation sensors with self-monitoring capability (e.g., GPS), (b) the reliability of aircraft systems given as indicated by<br />

a failure rate commensurate with the equipment design assurance, <strong>and</strong> (c) the integrity of other navigation systems,<br />

(e.g., RNP) that rely on ground-based self-monitoring equipment <strong>for</strong> integrity assurance, <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> which no specific hourly<br />

integrity value can be ascribed. These three values are not readily interchangeable. Selection of the largest of the<br />

values as specified in the table above is felt to provide a reasonable bound on the order of magnitude of the probability<br />

of possible failures affecting ADS-B applications.<br />

Draft<br />

Note 6.— GNSS systems report integrity in terms of flight hours <strong>and</strong> FMS systems report in terms of per<br />

measurement sample (derived from a number of position measurements). While these are not equivalent measures of<br />

integrity, the difference is not considered to be critical <strong>for</strong> initial applications.<br />

B.2.3.9.14.1 Recommendations. —<br />

1. SIL is intended to reflect the integrity of the navigation source of the position in<strong>for</strong>mation broadcast, there<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

SIL value transmitted should be indicative of the true integrity of the ADS-B position data.<br />

2. If SIL in<strong>for</strong>mation is not provided by the navigation source, implementers should not arbitrarily set a SIL value of<br />

zero indicating unknown integrity.<br />

3. Unless there is a tightly coupled navigation source where SIL can be unambiguously determined <strong>and</strong> set<br />

dynamically, the ADS-B Transmitting Subsystem should provision <strong>for</strong> the static setting of SIL as part of the<br />

installation procedure.<br />
