Attachment I 10 7 6.3 States should therefore ensure that, as the use of SSR progresses, both as far as cover and capability are concerned, the requirements for air-ground communications are kept under close review in order to reduce them whenever this appears warranted in the light of practical operating experience. 7. Accuracy of SSR Mode C data 7.1 The use of SSR Mode C data must take account of the following errors affecting accuracy a Correspondence Error, reflecting discrepancies between level information used on board and level information encoded for automktic transmission. The maximum value of this error has been accepted to be 2 125 feet 95 probability cf. ICAO Annex 10, Volume I, Part I, paragraph 3.8.7.12.2.5. b Flight Technical Error, reflecting inevitable deviations by aircraft from intended levels as a reaction to flight control operations, turbu- lence, etc. This error related to manually flown aircraft tends to be larger than that for aircraft controlled by automatic pilots. The previously used maximum value of this error, based on a 95 probability, is 2 200 feet cf. Report of COM/OPS Divisional Meeting 1966, Item 9, page 9-35, paragraph 4.2. It should be noted that a number of factors contributing to this value have been improved since. 7.2 The mathematical combination of the non-rela,ted errors in a and b above results in a value of f 235 feet based on a 95 probability and it is therefore believed that a value of 2 300 feet constitutes a valid decision criterion to be applied in practice when a verifying the accuracy of SSR Mode C data, b determining the occupancy of levels.
