                          Question 7: Purpose of Experiment



a) Per NTIA criteria provided via email originated by Karl Nebia, the station class
   should be “XT.” The device (GPS re-radiator) is to be used as Experimental RNSS
   test equipment for the purpose of testing GPS receivers installed in aircraft while the
   aircraft are inside the San Antonio Citation Service Center (CSC) hangar.

   Other attachments to this application show how this system complies with the criteria
   of section 8.3.28 of the NTIA Manual. Attachments to this application are:

       •   System brochure with description and parts list
       •   Facility drawing with radiating antenna location
       •   Specifications for components
       •   Power calculations
       •   Stop buzzer Points of Contact

b) The specific objective we wish to accomplish is to ensure aircraft GPS navigation
   systems are functioning properly without having to relocate the aircraft outside of the
   hangar. Relocating an aircraft takes several people. Work on the aircraft cannot be
   performed while it is being moved. Often, other aircraft must be moved to clear a
   path to the hangar door. This can disrupt work on additional aircraft with associated
   delays and costs.

c) This program will reduce time required to service aircraft, increase efficiency and
   contribute to ensuring the reliability of aircraft GPS navigation systems.




Very Respectfully,
