Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students have: Knowledge: • Overview of the various avionics systems who output is being used by a flight management system (FMS) • Definition of navigation performance parameters: accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity • Overview of the navigation requirements for various applications and phases of flight • Conventional versus performance-based navigation (PBN) • Basics of flight dynamics required for design of an FMS • Flight automation modes • FMS: flight planning, trajectory prediction and optimization, performance computations • FMS: trajectory tracking, communications, human machine interface • Introduction to instrument flight procedure design (IFPD): classification, RNAV and augmentation systems • General IFPD Criteria: instrument flight segments, protection area and obstacle clearance, fundamentals for conventional and RNAV procedure design • Departure Procedures: design principles, vertical consideration, straight and turning departures, environmental considerations • Approach Procedures: runway alignment procedures, classification, final approach criteria, missed approach criteria • Approach Procedures: non-precision approaches, precision approaches, approaches with vertical guidance • ARINC 424 Skills: • Optimize 4D-Trajectory under various criteria (fuel efficiency, time efficiency etc.) • Understand principles of performance based navigation (PBN) • Perform flight management system analysis and assessment • Identify independencies of a flight management system with an autoflight system and other aircraft avionic systems • Analyze and assess instrument flight procedures for various phases of flight • Design of simplified instrument flight procedures according ICAO PANS-OPS Doc 8168 • Perform software-development of a software-based flight management system • Implement navigation performance requirements into flight management systems • Implement autoflight system modes principles into software-based flight management system • Understand principles of ARINC424 NAV-Coding • Express aircraft performance along 4D-Trajectory Competencies: • Solve aviation-related software programming tasks in small groups • Address the role of flight management in flight guidance and air traffic management of manned and unmanned aircraft • Address the role of flight procedure design for flight management and air traffic management
