WHAT IS magicIFP?magicIFP is a web application to carry out the ground and flight validation of LPV approaches, in accordance with ICAO requirements and recommendations, to help you to achieve their operational implementation in your country.

magicIFP main goal is to allow you to: Perform the ground validation of LPV approaches, checking their data consistency, their compliance with PANS-OPS design criteria and ARINC 424 coding rules, and their flyability by different aircraft categories. Support the flight validation of LPV approaches, by processing the GNSS data recorded in a flight trial, computing the achieved performance, and checking its compliance with the applicable ICAO requirements.

NOT AN SBAS IN YOUR REGION YET?magicIFP also allows you to assess in-flight the feasibility of LPV approaches in regions of the world where there is not yet an operational SBAS, to help you to get the buy-in from all your aviation stakeholders for an SBAS solution.

To carry out the in-flight assessment you may: Use an aircraft equipped with GPS avionics and a GNSS data recording device, or Install in your aircraft a GMV’s magicLPV product to actually enable the pilot to taste the flavor of flying an LPV approach with a RTCA MOPS compliant equipment, receiving in real time the SBAS messages broadcasted by a GMV’s magicSBAS operational test-bed configured to serve your country

KEY ADVANTAGESThe key advantages of magicIFP are:

It is a web application available through internet. No software installation, set-up or maintenance tasks are required from the users. It has a remote database to store user’s input data and generated reports, ensuring their secured storage and timely availability. It does not require any investment: just an annual fee to access to the service, which is regularly updated to keep it aligned with any amendment to ICAO baseline. A free temporary access to try out the service can be granted on user’s request.

SERVICE DESCRIPTIONmagicIFP is a web application that allows the user to follow the ICAO guidelines for the:

- Ground validation of an LPV approach, generating a report with a detailed description of the data consistency, PANS-OPS and ARINC 424 checks performed on the LPV approach defined by the user.

Ground validation of an LPV approach, generating a report with the flyability checks (e.g. descent and climb gradients, altitude and speed constraints, RNP and FSD limits) calculated for the scenarios (e.g. aircraft category and model; initial weight, altitude and speed; temperature and wind conditions) defined by the user.

Flight validation of an LPV approach, by processing the data recorded in a flight trial, generating a report describing the outcome of the performed analysis (e.g. path repeatability, flight technical error, navigation system performances, flight statistics).

MAIN FEATURESmagicIFP main features are:

- Developed in accordance with the most recent ICAO recommendations and requirements for LPV approaches (e.g. APV SBAS and SBAS CAT I). User defines the Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) to be assessed (including the FAS data block). Aircraft desired path is calculated on the basis of the ARINC 424 path terminators used in the IAP design, the ICAO PANS-OPS design rules, and the RTCA requirements applicable to SBAS avionics. Ground validation and flight validation reports, describing all the checks performed to validate the ICAO recommendations and requirements, are generated automatically. Ground validation and flight validation KML files are generated automatically too, to let the user analyze other relevant issues (e.g. terrain, airspace).

a) For ground validation User defines the flyability scenarios in terms of aircraft category and model, initial aircraft state (IAF, altitude, weight, altitude, IAS), and atmospheric conditions (ISA temperature deviation, tail wind).b) For flight validation User uploads a RINEX GPS L1L2 file recorded during a flight trial. User may upload the SBAS messages recorded during the flight trial, or let the tool automatically download them from an operational SBAS repository. Actual trajectory flown by the aircraft is determined automatically with centimeter accuracy.c) For in-flight assessment User selects the world region for which SBAS messages are continuously generated by our high fidelity SBAS operational test-bed. Navigation solution used (or required) by the aircraft during the flight trial is computed using the GPS data recorded in flight and the generated SBAS messages.
