RAIM Prediction
Determine GPS coverage availability for the current location or a
specified waypoint at any time and date. RAIM performs checks to
ensure the navigator has adequate satellite geometry during flight.
FEATURE REQUIREMENTS
•
Active flight plan and 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.
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. For LPV approach
availability, visit the FAA's NOTAM service.

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