In the document that you told me to read, perhaps you could do a search for "maritime jurisdiction". That might give a clue as to why.

It's not $225m for the SBAS, it's $160m. The extra is for the 3cm accuracy.

Nobody's answered me yet; how is the LPV DA displayed/used/worked out in the cockpit? Using a rad alt?
