( 2 ) Absence of limitation to allow the design of EGNOS v3 to include additional stations in order to extend, in a continuous manner, the EGNOS service area in accordance with Article 2(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1285/2013. ( 3 ) Latency is the time elapsed since the transmission of the last bit of the navigation message from the space segment (EGNOS and GPS/Galileo satellites) until the data leave the EGNOS server. ( 4 ) The performance specifications included in this table address only signal-in-space contributions. ( 5 ) A range is given for service availability for approach procedure. The bottom of the range shall correspond to the availability expected for the GPS L1-only service. The top of the range shall be available for users equipped with a dual frequency GPS L1-L5 receiver or a combined GPS/Galileo dual-frequency receiver. ( 6 ) ‘Land masses of an area’ means any land territory, including islands, in the FIR of that area except for the Cat I service for which coverage of Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands are excluded. ( 7 ) Until sufficient Galileo performance is demonstrated, APV-I service level is accepted. ( 8 ) The performance specifications included in this table address only signal-in-space contributions. ( 9 ) National (or territorial) waters are defined in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as waters extending at most 12 nautical miles from the coast line.
