This paper is the first of a series on Air Navigation Systems during the fifty years from the early oceanic flights and the inception of commercial aviation to the introduction of INS in civil aircraft. These papers are intended as critical commentaries. A definitive history has yet to be written. The writer would be grateful to receive criticisms of the paper or comments on the subject.

The analysis an influence of reflections from the underlying surface, atmospheric noise, the Earth’s surface, cosmic noise and signal attenuation of the signal the atmosphere, as well as the flight dynamics of the aircraft (AC) on the signal/noise ratio and, accordingly, on the accuracy of AC navigation definitions by using consumer equipment of the satellite radio navigation systems. The analysis an influence of reflections from the underlying surface on the equipment operation quality of the satellite radio navigation systems consumers is carried out by using the Beckman model, in accordance with the earth’s surface appears to consist of flat faces with an arbitrary slope. It is noted that reflections from the underlying surface have a greater effect on the quality of functioning of the consumer equipment of the satellite radio navigation systems in the tracking signal mode than in the detection mode. In this case, the influence of reflections increases with decreasing flight altitude and an increase in the angle of heel of the AC in the direction of the navigation spacecraft.
