Bangalore: The indigenous Satellite-Based Regional GPS Augmentation System (GAGAN), which is expected to enhance navigation for aircraft movement over the Indian airspace, is in the process of certification to make it operational by the end of the year.
The certification document for GAGAN has been handed over to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for approval. Further, the GAGAN System is planned to be certified for required navigation performance (RNP 0.1) service.
The RNP is a type of performance-based navigation, which allows an aircraft to fly a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space.
