🔍 Key Concepts

• Minimum GPS receiver requirements for failure warnings under carriage or performance standards • Difference between navigational alarms (like cross-track error) and basic failure/status indications • How a GPS indicates loss of valid position data to the operator

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which option describes a basic, essential warning that any GPS used for safe navigation must give when it can no longer reliably tell you where you are. • Consider which choices are more like extra features or integration with other systems (like engines) rather than core GPS status indications. • Think about what a “change in satellite configuration” means to the navigator and whether it must always be directly alarmed, versus what absolutely must be brought to your attention to avoid unsafe navigation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options relate directly to the GPS unit’s own ability to determine and output position. • Separate features that are nice to have from those that are critical for safety when GPS data becomes unreliable or unavailable. • Verify which choice represents a clear failure or loss-of-service warning, not just routine information or an engine system alert.
