Abstract
The purpose of a flight inspection is to calibrate and evaluate the performance of aircraft navigation and landing aids to ensure conformance to specifications. This mission requires that the flight inspection platform have a reference position estimate significantly more accurate than that of the facility under inspection, it means tenths of meter accuracy over a region of many kilometers in a dynamic environment. In generally the flight inspection data must be calculated with a higher degree of accuracy than the tested systems. For example, if a DME station is tested the DME receiver itself calculates the data with an accuracy of about 180 m. The position of the aircraft respective to the DME ground station (evaluated by the flight inspection equipment) must have a measured accuracy of less than 180 m. From all navaids the instrument landing system (ILS) requires the strictest accuracy of flight inspection therefore flight inspections systems have to be in compliance with these requirements.
