What the accepted alternatives show

These are generated-data sensitivity checks, not measured aircraft position errors.

6/6 cases contain accepted saved alternatives whose later predictions differ by more than at least one original width target. The limits are 20 m north, 20 m east and 50 m height.

Model Processing case Feasible saved points North spread (m) East spread (m) Height spread (m)
Globe + field Zero removal 7 23.042 5.616 6.572
Globe + field Profiled removal 7 23.034 4.466 6.545
Globe, zero field Zero removal 7 22.988 6.083 6.616
Globe, zero field Profiled removal 7 23.008 4.863 6.573
Stationary disc Zero removal 7 23.136 6.154 6.660
Stationary disc Profiled removal 7 23.270 6.356 6.539

Each number is a lower spread among sampled feasible calibrations, with the declared numerical guard subtracted. It is not an upper uncertainty bound. Different axes may use different pairs; the exact records and pair identities are preserved in the evidence.

All alternatives use the same earlier observations, physical bounds and input measurements. If two allowed calibrations exceed a width target, a more efficient enclosure or optimizer cannot make a valid range containing both narrower than that separation. Whether the declared calibration and error assumptions adequately describe aircraft recordings is a separate question.

The numerical guard has not been independently qualified for the entire recording. These results describe the saved native calculation under that assumption; they do not establish statistical confidence or qualify V01. The 53-stretch model preferences are unchanged.
