Can individual satellites be deselected from use on the FMS GPS Control Page?

The FMS GPS Control Page allows for the management of satellite selection, and individual satellites can indeed be deselected. This is accomplished by entering the specific satellite identifier directly into the system, which enables the user to tailor the navigation performance and mitigate potential issues caused by faulty or unreliable satellites. This feature enhances the accuracy and integrity of positional information by allowing operators to exclude satellites that may not be providing reliable data.

The ability to deselect satellites through the FMS is particularly useful in situations where certain satellites may be experiencing signal degradation or other anomalies that could impact navigation accuracy. This capability is integral to ensuring optimal performance of the GPS system on the aircraft.
