If Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) capability is lost in-flight,
the pilot may still rely on GPS derived altitude for vertical information.
the pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position.✓ Correct Answer
GPS position is reliable provided at least 3 GPS satellites are available.
Explanation
RAIM is how the GPS receiver checks the integrity of its own position solution. AIM 1-1-17 states that without RAIM capability the pilot has no assurance of the accuracy of the GPS position, and another means of navigation must then be actively monitored. GPS altitude is no more trustworthy without integrity monitoring. Three satellites cannot even give a 3-D fix, let alone integrity; RAIM itself needs at least five satellites (or four plus baro-aiding).
