Question 272 - Radio Navigation - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot license

A LAAS cannot correct for satellite timing and orbital position error.
The increase in accuracy of position fixes is independent of the aircraft position in relation to the LAAS ground reference station.
A LAAS corrects the position of the aircraft by relaying the information via a geo-stationary satellite.
The closer the receiver is to a LAAS ground reference station, the more accurate is the aircraft position fix.
