Abstract:

This paper has described a method to accomplish the Ground-Based Augmentation System signal-in-space integrity risk monitoring for a ground station speciﬁed by ICAO, Annex 10, Vol. 1 and RTCA DO-245A, which is a mandatory requirement to meet the certiﬁcation aspects for a Ground-Based Augmentation System station. The proposed methodology was based on the Risk Tree Analysis technique, which is an optional way to design and develop an engineering solution named as integrity risk monitor that assures the integrity risk requirement for standard system architecture. The achieved results concern the qualitative and quantitative aspects of solution, which are met through the system architecture and the system safety assessment process, in special by risk assessment concepts. Finally, the integrity risk monitor is an optional architectural solution (a practical way) that has demonstrated a satisfactory result to meet the certiﬁcation basis of the Brazilian Aeronautical Authorities.
