You are approaching an airport in Sweden at 73ºN. Due to this high latitude, the GPS is unreliable. What systems can you use?
  • A
    AAIM with Baro.
  • B
    Barometric altimeter and clock only.
  • C
    On-board clock to aid time reference and SBAS.
  • D
    INS and clock.

AAIM uses additional on-board sensors to cross-check the GNSS position. The AAIM compares the 3D position with navigation information from on-board systems and not with signals from other satellites. The navigation systems on-board may be self-contained inertial reference system (IRS) or radio signals from navigation aids. Furthermore, redundancy to satellite signals may be offered by the barometric altimeter as a back-up for positioning in the vertical dimension.
