The Satellite Base Augmentation System (SBAS) - EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) has been certified for Safety of Life (SoL) service for aircraft navigation since 2nd of March 2011. Unfortunately for the territory of Poland, located at the edge of EGNOS service area, the quality of the service corrections are still not sufficient for aircraft navigation requirements. Years 2012 and 2013 are forecasted as a maximum of solar activity in a 11-year solar cycle. This time period will be the chance to perform the first tests for the EGNOS Safety of Life service quality in disturbed ionospheric conditions. During the previous maximum of solar activity, the storm on 30 October 2003 resulted in the inability to use WAAS corrections for more than 12 hours. This was caused by a very large gradient of disturbances and its’ very sharp boundaries – vertical TEC (VTEC) varied from ~ 40 to ~ 120 TECU (TEC units) within an hour (over ~ 150 km distance). These circumstances gave the opportunity to carry out the test flights to examine the navigation parameters obtained for EGNOS SoL service in disturbed ionospheric conditions. The paper presents project proposal of study and analyses of such fundamental navigation parameters as: accuracy of determined position, availability, continuity and integrity, determined for selected disturbances in relation to quiet conditions. It can give a possibility to estimate of the quality of EGNOS SoL service in Polish airspace during the different phases of flight and its resistance to critical ionospheric conditions.

Under the umbrella of PWSZ Chelm, taking account of future implementation of navigation using EUPOS and GNSS based on EGNOS several planned actions were carried out in the 2005-2006. The actions in particular contribute to: 1. ICAO and EGNOS requirements and coverage area (Chelm Town located near Polish-Ukrainian border is also at the east border of planned EGNOS coverage for ECAC states). 2. Preparatory activities to establishing the EUPOS station in PWSZ Chelm. Cooperation of PWSZ Chelm and ULC (Polish Aviation Regulator) in the frame of conventional NAV aids use and GNSS implementation in aviation. 3. Analysis of ICAO requirements and methods of testing SIS (Signal In Space) needed to certify GNSS in Poland for use for an aviation. 4. Preparatory activities to establishing the EGNOS SIS monitoring station based on EUROCONTROL Pegasus software and GNSS/EGNOS receiver Septentrio PolaRx2e. 5. Analysis of methods for exchange of information between EUPOS and EGNOS SIS station to initiate the application of satellite positioning systems to air navigation in Poland. The project EUPOS is a European initiative aiming at establishment of a uniform DGNSS (Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) basis infrastructures in Central and Eastern European countries including Chelm Town where PWSZ is localized playing vital role in GIS/GNSS implementation in the region and Polish aviation.

In Polish aviation on-board GPS units are used for enroute procedures mainly. The use of GNSS for approach and landing procedures requires overcoming a lot of obstructions, including both organizational and technical ones. The paper presents information connecting with GNSS implementation in aviation.
