Geodesists have used the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) for a number of years for high accuracy position measurements. Since the last two or three years GPS receivers with carrier phase tracking capability are being used on board aircraft for photogrammetry and gravitational research. The phase tracking technique appears to be suitable for a flight test position reference system. The paper contains a description of a test program that was carried out in the summer of 1991 and consisted of a limited dynamics test on the ground and a full dynamics test in flight. Some preliminary results of these tests are presented.
