sorry about that

OK here is an extract from FCOM A320

CURRENT NAV MODE
EPE (RATE or THRESHOLD)
REMARK


IRS/GPS

(FOM˛ + 100˛) in meters

FOM = Figure of Merit of GPS
If above 0.28 NM the GPS position is rejected.


IRS/DME/DME

Tends towards 0.28 NM

EPE decreases from initial value to 0.28 Nm.


IRS/VOR/DME

0.1 NM + 0.05 X DME DIST minimum : 0.28 NM

EPE increases or decreases as the distance between the a/c and the VOR/DME.


IRS ONLY

+ 8 NM/h for the first 21 min.
+ 2 NM/h after

EPE increases continuously




sorry once again for the lack of clarity before
