Page 49: The Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth twice a day, transmitting precise time and positioning information to anywhere on the globe, 24 hours a day. The system was designed and deployed by the U.S. Department of Defense to provide continuous, worldwide positioning and navigation data to U.S. -
Page 50: Gps Receiver Specifications
Azimuth and Elevation of the satellites used to compute a position fix. The Elevation is the height of the satellite above the horizon, with 5° (lowest) near the horizon and 90° (highest) being directly overhead (the EKP-IV does not normally use satellites with Elevations lower than 10°). Azimuth is the satellite’s location in relation to true north, measured clockwise as a bearing. -

exactly where to find the best possible replacement). Three satellites are required for two-dimension positioning (which determines position only) and four satellites are required for three-dimension positioning (to determine position and elevation). 7.3.1 ACCURACY In general, an SPS receiver can provide position information with an error of less than 25 Meters and velocity information with an error of less than 5 Meters per second. -

ceiver accepts and demodulates the broadcast corrections, which are then re- layed to the GPS receiver. The GPS receiver applies the corrections to the navigation data it uses to compute a position solution and displays differen- tially corrected data. Care must be taken to ensure that the DGPS receiver and the GPS receiver are compatible for this procedure to be successful. -

Page 73: Simulator
Simulator The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the EKP-IV before ever taking it into the cockpit. No current position fix is required because the EKP-IV simulates position data internally. The EKP-IV simulates flight in two ways: a straight flight path or following a selected route. -
Page 74: Turning The Simulator Off
As stated earlier, in the Simulation mode the EKP-IV retains full functionality.

This section explains the terms that you may find unfamiliar. ACQUISITION Occurs when the EKP-IV locates a signal and collects data from a satellite. AIRPORT DATABASE A series of files of airport positions (described near the geographical center of the airport and as defined by ICAO), with runways, frequencies (with sectors) and services available information. - Page 95 Identified by a unique name, such as WGS84 or NAD27. DEFAULT The value or setting automatically chosen by the EKP-IV unless directed otherwise. DEGREE 1/360th of a circle. On a Great Circle, 1° = 60 min.
- Page 96 MASK ANGLE The Elevation (height above the horizon, measured in Degrees) below which the EKP-IV will not search for satellites. The Mask Angle used by the EKP-IV is variable. It starts at 8° and under certain condi- tions, may drop as low as 0°.

UTC UNIVERSAL TIME - The current time at the Prime Meridian. Abbreviated as UT or UTC. Also ref. to as Zulu time (Z) USER COMPACT FLASH The EKP-IV uses the optional User COMPACT FLASH to save user data: it is a convenient medium to store and retrieve your information. - Page 98 tags, the ICAO codes minimize the possibility of duplicate identifiers and allow pilots to identify an airport’s region and nearby large city. ICAO codes for international airports use a 2-character identifier for the region, followed by 1 character that identifies the airport’s general area, then 1 character of the airport. For example, the ICAO code for Melbourne, Australia is YMML (IATA code MEL).
