14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–14 Edition)
Pt. 91, SFAR No. 104
operation of an aircraft proceeding to a high-
er minimum en route altitude when crossing
specified fixes.
Required navigation system. Required navi-
gation system means navigation equipment
that meets the performance requirements of
TSO C145a/C146a navigation systems certified
for IFR en route operations.
Route segment. Route segment is a portion
of a route bounded on each end by a fix or
NAVAID.
Special MEA. Special MEA refers to the
minimum en route altitudes, using required
navigation systems, on published routes out-
side the operational service volume of
ground-based navigation aids and are de-
picted on the published Low Altitude and
High Altitude En Route Charts using the
color blue and with the suffix ‘‘G.’’ For ex-
ample, a GPS MEA of 4000 feet MSL would be
depicted using the color blue, as 4000G.
Standard MEA. Standard MEA refers to the
minimum en route IFR altitude on published
routes that uses ground-based navigation
aids and are depicted on the published Low
Altitude and High Altitude En Route Charts
using the color black.
Station referenced. Station referenced refers
to radio navigational aids or fixes that are
referenced by ground based navigation facili-
ties such as VOR facilities.
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS).
WAAS is an augmentation to GPS that cal-
culates GPS integrity and correction data on
the ground and uses geo-stationary satellites
to broadcast GPS integrity and correction
data to GPS/WAAS users and to provide
ranging signals. It is a safety critical system
consisting of a ground network of reference
and integrity monitor data processing sites
to assess current GPS performance, as well
as a space segment that broadcasts that as-
sessment to GNSS users to support en route
through precision approach navigation.
Users of the system include all aircraft ap-
plying the WAAS data and ranging signal.
Section 3.
