When was European GNSS Agency created?
European GNSS Agency was created in 2004.
What does ils z means on approach plate?
The ILS Z is an Instrument Approach Procedure which requires a GNSS capability to be executed. Though the the ILS information regarding the Localizer (Runway axis) and Glide Slope are the same for the any ILS, this one demands that before joining the ILS itself the aircraft has to fly through waypoints that can only be flown using the GNSS capabilities of the aircraft. Besides that, the Missed Approach segment of the procedure also requires GNSS capability. Note: GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System.
Why do we need a reference system in GNSS?
A reference system in GNSS is needed to establish a common framework for determining the positions of satellites and receivers on Earth. This system provides a consistent coordinate system that allows accurate positioning and navigation globally. Without a reference system, it would be challenging to interpret and use the satellite data collected for navigation purposes.
How do gps systems works?
GPS, or more exactly GNSS, is a constellation of satellites that sends waves to the earth. To learn more, you can read this blog on GPS signal detection and accuracy. cyclope.dev
What can you spell with agbl?
There are no common 4-letter anagrams. The letters can spell the acronym gLAB (GNSS-LAB) which is a software suite developed for use with the Global Navigation Satellite System.
What is the usages of car Gps?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.Car GPS helps to track the location of the car.
How is the height of the Himalayas measured?
The height of any mountain or range - the Himalayas included - is usually measured by surveyors using a transit and measuring rod, or theodolites, which measure angles in the horizontal and vertical planes. An altimeter is another measuring tool which can be used, but it is not as accurate, and is unlikely to be used for the world's highest mountain range. Modern technology has now enabled the use of GPS satellite technology, or more precisely GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) technology.
Do commercial aircraft have Geographical Position Systems?
Yes they do, or they wouldn't be albe to navavigate so successfully. Yes, all modern aircraft with on-board computers use GPS to plot courses. They have a Multi-Mode Reciever on board to receive the GPS data. Two new items under developement is plotting the aircraft on the runway using GPS coordinates. The pilot and Air Traffic Controller will have a display of the airport and runways and position of your a/c and other aircraft. Another item is Satellite Tracking of aircraft as opposed to tracking using ground-based radar. This plan would make the radar obsolete. All aircraft positions would be reported by GPS and plotted on a display that collects the data from all aircraft.

What is Europe's equivalent of GPS?
Galileo is the European equivalent of the US GPS system.Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) currently being built by the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA).One of the aims of Galileo is to provide a high-precision positioning system upon which European nations can rely, independently from the Russian GLONASS, US GPS, and Chinese Compass systems, which can be disabled in times of war or conflict.Because Galileo is a guaranteed system it can be used is safety critical systems, unlike the US GPS and other systems which are all controlled by the military.Basic navigation services will be free of charge. Galileo is intended to provide horizontal and vertical position measurements within 1 metre precision, and better positioning services at high latitudes than other positioning systems. As a further feature, Galileo will provide a unique global search and rescue (SAR) function. Satellites will be equipped with a transponder which will relay distress signals from the user's transmitter to the Rescue Co-ordination Centre, which will then initiate the rescue operation. At the same time, the system will provide a signal to the users, informing them that their situation has been detected and that help is on the way. This latter feature is new and is considered a major upgrade compared to the existing GPS and GLONASS navigation systems.
What is the function of total station?
Sorry i am still an amateur. The function of a total station in a construction site have various use. Some of the most common are COGO, mapping & stake-out. But the first and foremost of total station is to measure angle & distance, which can then be calculated coordinates (XYZ or NEZ)
