    APPENDIX 03: How Does GPS Work? What Is GPS? Many of the radio-navigation aids used in aviation were originally developed for military use but have now been made freely available to civil users. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has a similar history.
  • Page 114 2) Making use of an extra satellite. In order to obtain a positional fix in three dimensional space, it is necessary to know the exact distance to each of three satellites. The exact distance is however not known because of the presence of an offset or error in the receiver's clock with respect to universal time.
  • Page 115 Each satellite has three separate clocks on board (one in use and two standby) and in the event of the total failure of a satellite, one of the spares already in orbit can be manoeuvred into position within a few hours. The only time the DoD can predict there may be a substantial break in coverage for civilian users, is at a time of National Emergency, when the whole system may be reverted to P code (military) operation only, for strategic reasons.

    APPENDIX 04: Differential Functions (Skymap IIIC only) Your Bendix/King unit has been designed to enable it to make use of Differential GPS (DGPS). What Is DGPS? GPS on its own is, as we have seen in Appendix 03, an extremely accurate system for all general navigation purposes.
