Enhanced Vertical Navigation Using Barometric Measurements

Enhanced Vertical Navigation Using Barometric Measurements

This paper introduces a technique to transform between geometric and barometric estimates of altitude and vice-versa. Leveraging forecast numerical weather models, the method is unbiased and has a vertical error with a standard deviation of around 30 m (100 ft), regardless of aircraft altitude, whic...
