Appendix C C-35<br />

C.2.3.10.7 Navigation Accuracy Category <strong>for</strong> Position (NACP)<br />

This 4-bit (“ME” bits 45 – 48, Message bits 77 – 80) subfield shall be used to announce 95% accuracy limits<br />

<strong>for</strong> the horizontal position (<strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> some NAC P values, the vertical position) that is being currently broadcast<br />

in Airborne Position <strong>and</strong> Surface Position Messages. Encoding of the subfield shall be as shown in Table C-<br />

13. If an update has not been received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> NAC P within the past 2 seconds,<br />

then the NAC P subfield shall be encoded as a value indicating “Unknown Accuracy.”<br />

C.2.3.10.8 Geometric Vertical Accuracy (GVA)<br />

This 2-bit (“ME” bits 49 – 50, Message bits 81 – 82) subfield in the Airborne Operational Status Message<br />

(Subtype=0) shall be encoded as shown in Table C-29, <strong>and</strong> set by using the Vertical Figure of Merit (VFOM)<br />

(95%) from the GNSS position source used to encode the geometric altitude field in the Airborne Position<br />

Message.<br />

Table C-29. Encoding of the Geometric Vertical Accuracy (GVA)<br />

Subfield in Aircraft Operational Status Messages<br />

GVA Encoding<br />

Meaning<br />

(decimal)<br />

(meters)<br />

0 Unknown or > 150 meters<br />

1 ≤ 150 meters<br />

2 ≤ 45 meters<br />

3 Reserved<br />

Note.— For the purposes of this Manual, values <strong>for</strong> 0, 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 are encoded. Decoding values <strong>for</strong> 3<br />

should be treated as < 45 meters until future versions of this Manual redefine the value.<br />

C.2.3.10.9 Source Integrity Level (SIL)<br />

This 2-bit (“ME” bits 51 – 52, Message bits 83 – 84) subfield is defined <strong>for</strong> the Target State <strong>and</strong> Status<br />

Message in §C.2.3.9.11 <strong>and</strong> Table C-15, <strong>and</strong> remains the same in the Operational Status Message.<br />

C.2.3.10.10 Barometric Altitude Integrity Code (NICBARO)<br />

Draft<br />

This 1-bit (“ME” bit 53, Message bit 85) subfield shall be used to indicate whether or not the barometric<br />

pressure altitude being reported in the Airborne Position Message (§C.2.3.2) has been cross-checked<br />

against another source of pressure altitude. The NICBARO subfield shall be encoded as shown in Table C-14.<br />

If an update has not been received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> NICBARO within the past 2 seconds,<br />

then the NICBARO subfield shall be encoded as a value of ZERO (0).<br />

C.2.3.10.11 Aircraft Length <strong>and</strong> Width Codes<br />

This 4-bit (“ME” bits 21 – 24, Message bits 53 – 56) subfield shall be used in the Surface Aircraft Operational<br />

Status Message (Subtype=1) to describe the amount of space that an Aircraft or Ground Vehicle occupies.<br />

The A/V Length <strong>and</strong> Width Code shall be based on the actual dimensions of the transmitting Aircraft or<br />

Surface Vehicle as specified in Table C-30. Once the actual Length <strong>and</strong> Width of the A/V has been<br />

determined, each A/V shall be assigned the smallest A/V Length <strong>and</strong> Width Code from Table C-30 <strong>for</strong> which<br />

the actual length is less than or equal to the upper bound length <strong>for</strong> that Length/Width Code, <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> which<br />

the actual width is less than or equal to the upper bound width <strong>for</strong> that Length/Width Code.<br />
