Conclusions • Objective of this work • To complement the results of worst-case simulations • To provide an alternative depiction, based on actual data, of the impact of specific validated ionosphere anomalies on LAAS users • Comparison with the result of simulation • Despite very large separations between CORS stations and the lack of a moving user, worst-case VPE and VPE histograms are similar (to first order) to those given by simulation methods • Roughly linear increase of VPE versus separation is as expected • Reduction in worst case VPE when VAL is reduced to 10 meters matches the impact of geometry screening when implemented in simulation • Our Results, while not a one-to-one comparison, support the notion that Cat I iono. analysis is sober and is probably conservative
