Description / Abstract:
This document defines the minimum user requirements applicable
to the origination and publication of terrain and obstacle data
from creation through the entire life cycle of the data. Data
processing should be accomplished in accordance with RTCA
DO-200B/EUROCAE ED-76A. This document provides a minimum list of
attributes associated with the terrain and obstacle data and a
description of associated errors that may need to be addressed.
The numerical values in Section 4 are defined to accommodate the
most stringent known application requirements, and not on a basis
of acquisition cost. The accuracy, integrity, and resolution
requirements for primary means of navigation have not been
considered in this document.
Additionally, guidance material is provided to assist the
certification process of an application using terrain and obstacle
data.
Land use/land cover database requirements have not been
specifically addressed in this document.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Introduction
This document was written to identify requirements for terrain
and obstacle data.
Data originators require the quality characteristics to be
defined, including specific numerical values, in order to provide
data for use in applications. Appendix C provides some illustrative
application examples.
Certification authorities and the end users require information
to ensure that terrain and obstacle data satisfy the intended
applications.
