DESCRIPTION:In the frame of the Swiss-wide implementation program to develo
 p satellite-based flight procedures (CHIPS) a project of helicopter record
 ing random flights has been launched. The aim of the project was to assess
  the GPS and EGNOS navigation performance at low altitudes. Helicopters of
  Rega and the Swiss Air Force have been equipped with data recording units
 \, allowing to record GPS\, EGNOS\, FMS and AHRS data during their daily m
 issions. Furthermore\, dedicated flights using high accuracy GPS reference
  data have been carried out to record data under special conditions. Throu
 ghout the project duration of five years\, a total of 40'000 flight hours 
 have been recorded with three different helicopter types. The presentation
 s include a summary of the HRRF project\, the availability of GPS and EGNO
 S navigation in particular in mountainous area\, the trajectory accuracy o
 f the flights on dedicated routings\, such as the Swiss low-flight network
 \, the assessment of the radio frequency inter- ference level\, and the va
 lidation of simulation tools.\n\nCo-sponsored by: ION-CH\, ETH Zurich IGP\
