Application the GPS code observations in BSSD method for recovery the position of the aircraft

In this paper, the results of aircraft positioning based on GPS code observations in air aviation are presented. The aircraft position was recovery using Between Satellite Single Difference (BSSD) method in GPS system. The BSSD method was applied for designation the precise position of Cessna 172 plane in flight test in air navigation. The coordinates of Cessna 172 plane were determinated using least square estimation in XYZ geocentric frame. The average accuracy of aircraft position equals to 0.797 m for X axis, 0.496 m for Y axis and 0.966 m for Z axis, respectively. In addition, the protection level of HPL parameter amounts to 4.991 m and 5.749 m for VPL term. In paper, the XYZ coordinates of Cessna 172 plane were also compared with PPP solution from GAPS software. The value of RMS bias is about 1.642 m for X axis, 0.902  m for Y axis and 0.892 m for Z axis, respectively.
