01.01 PBN Principles

02 State that these RNAV and RNP systems are necessary to optimise the utilisation of available airspace.
03 State that it is necessary for flight crew and air traffic controllers to be aware of the on-board RNAV or RNP system capabilities in order to determine whether the performance of the RNAV or RNP system is appropriate for the specific airspace requirements.
04 Define accuracy as the conformance of the true position and the required position.
05 Define continuity as the capability of the system to perform its function without unscheduled interruptions during the intended operation.
06 Define integrity as a measure of the trust that can be placed in the correctness of the information supplied by the total system. Integrity includes the ability of a system to provide timely and valid alerts to the user.

01.01 General
01 State that there are four main GNSSs. These are: USA NAVigation System with Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR GPS); Russian GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) ; European Galileo (under construction); Chinese BeiDou (under construction).
02 State that all four systems (will) consist of a constellation of satellites which can be used by a suitably equipped receiver to determine position.

01.02 Operation
01 State that there are currently two modes of operation: standard positioning service (SPS) for civilian users, and precise positioning service (PPS) for authorised users.
02 SPS was originally designed to provide civilian users with a less accurate positioning capability than PPS.
03 Name the three GNSS segments as follows: space segment; control segment; user segment.
04 State that each satellite broadcasts ranging signals on two UHF frequencies: L1 and L2.
05 State that SPS is a positioning and timing service provided on frequency L1.
