An integrity monitor includes means at the ground station for periodically transmitting an integrity test signal comprising a coded first portion which identifies the signal and a coded second portion which is equivalent to a predetermined quantity. The airborne station includes a decoder which determines the type of test signal received and decodes the second portion to obtain a number which, if the system is operating properly, will compare favorably with a fixed reference. If the comparison is unfavorable, an alarm is sounded.
