Source - RTCA DO-289

Scope of this note

This note records a provenance correction. Earlier vault scaffolding treated RTCA DO-289 as if it were an SBAS performance-testing or monitoring standard. Public catalog signals reviewed in this cycle instead identify RTCA DO-289 as an aircraft-surveillance-applications standard.

Important boundary:

  • This note is not a completed extraction from the RTCA document itself.
  • The public-catalog signal is sufficient to flag prior SBAS-specific use as likely mis-scoped.
  • Do not use DO-289 as a source anchor for SBAS testing, SBAS monitoring, LPV, protection levels, alert limits, or SBAS service performance unless later direct-source review proves a specific relevant linkage.

Provenance correction

Previous in-vault wording described DO-289 as an SBAS performance testing or monitoring source. Treat that mapping as superseded by this red flag until direct source review identifies the intended standard.

Likely downstream action:

  • Remove DO-289 from SBAS source-priority lists except as a red-flag / mis-scoped reference.
  • Do not route SBAS performance-monitoring claims to DO-289.
  • Look for the actual SBAS monitoring source family in ICAO Annex 10, ICAO Doc 9849, service-definition documents, ANSP/service-provider performance reports, and regulator guidance.
