BOUNDING COORDINATES

 EAST:        43.9431                        NORTH:        8.8044

 

WEST:        31.9862                        SOUTH        -5.9274 

POSITIONAL ACCURACY:

The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Operational Navigation Charts (ONC) is 2040 meters (6700 feet) rounded to the nearest 5 meters at 90% Circular Error (CE), World Geodetic System (WGS84).

The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Jet Navigation Charts  (JNC) is 4270 meters (14006 feet) at 90% Circular Error.

The absolute vertical accuracy of the DCW is the same as for the original ONC and JNC

 lithographs at 90% Linear Error (LE), Mean Sea Level (MSL)..
