Factor is reduced (moved closer to the runway) when higher
accuracy aircraft position and runway position information is
available.
This is typically 1/3 to 1 nm providing greater protection
against landing short events. With version -218-218 and later
models, the envelope bias factor is reduced to 1/4 nm if
runway and position data is of high integrity.
Also in -210-210 and later versions, runway selection logic is
improved
Comprehensive aircraft position and navigation information is
used to evaluate proximate runways and determine the most
likely destination runway for all alerting purposes.
