Reported GPS accuracy of echoUAT-skyFYX
echoUAT reports accuracy to strict aviation standards. The number reported indicates a containment radius to an extremely high degree of confidence - the same that is required to be reported for ADS-B Out. The number that Stratus and most non-certified or non-ADS-B GPS's report to ForeFlight is a much less confident measure, more suited for consumer applications. Unfortunately there is no standard for what accuracy metric is reported to ForeFlight, but we choose to report to an aviation standard. In practice, you'll find our GPS to be highly accurate, and that a report of 30m vs 1m has no bearing on reported position.
