DE-6 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Provisions</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> S <strong>Services</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong><br />

refers to horizontal position error uncertainty.<br />

Note 4.— If geometric altitude is not being reported, then the VEPU tests are not assessed.<br />

D.2.13 NAVIGATION INTEGRITY CATEGORY FOR BARO (NICBARO)<br />

This 1-bit (ME bit 44, message bit 76) subfield shall be used to indicate whether or not the barometric pressure-altitude<br />

being reported in the airborne position message (see §A.2.3.2) has been crosschecked against another source of<br />

pressure-altitude. The NICBARO subfield shall be encoded as specified in the following table. If an update has not been<br />

received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> NICBARO within the past 5 seconds, then the NICBARO subfield shall be<br />

encoded as a value of ZERO (0).<br />

Coding Meaning<br />

The barometric altitude that is being reported in the Airborne<br />

Position Message is based on a Gilham coded input that has not<br />

been cross-checked against another source of pressure-altitude.<br />

The barometric altitude that is being reported in the Airborne<br />

Position Message is either based on a Gilham code input that has<br />

been cross-checked against another source of pressure-altitude<br />

<strong>and</strong> verified as being consistent, or is based on a non-Gilham<br />

coded source.<br />

Note 1.— The barometric altitude value itself is conveyed within the ADS-B Position Message.<br />

Note 2.— The NICBARO subfield provides a method of indicating a level of data integrity <strong>for</strong> aircraft installed with<br />

Gilham encoding barometric altitude sources. Because of the potential of an undetected error when using a Gilham<br />

encoded altitude source, a comparison shall be per<strong>for</strong>med with a second source <strong>and</strong> only if the two sources agree shall<br />

the NICBARO subfield be set to a value of “1”. For other barometric altitude sources (Synchro or DADS) the integrity of the<br />

data is indicated with a validity flag or SSM. No additional checks or comparisons are necessary. For these sources the<br />

NICBARO subfield shall be set to a value of “1” whenever the barometric altitude is valid.<br />

Draft<br />

Note 3.— The use of Gilham type altimeters is strongly discouraged because of the potential <strong>for</strong> undetected altitude<br />

errors.<br />

D.2.14 SURVEILLANCE INTEGRITY LEVEL (SIL)<br />

This 2-bit (ME bits 45 — 46, message bits 77 — 78) subfield shall be used to define the probability of the integrity<br />

containment region described by the NIC subfield being exceeded <strong>for</strong> the selected position source, including any<br />

external signals used by the source. The SIL subfield shall be encoded as specified in the following table. If an update<br />

has not been received from an on-board data source <strong>for</strong> SIL within the past 5 seconds, then the SIL subfield shall be<br />

encoded as a value indicating “Unknown.”<br />

The probability specified by the SIL subfield shall be the largest likelihood of any one of the following occurring when a<br />

valid geometric position is provided by the selected position source:<br />

a. a position source equipment malfunction (per hour),<br />

b. the per sample probability of a position source error larger than the horizontal or vertical integrity containment region<br />

associated with the NIC value(s), or,<br />
