It will enable CAT I, II and III approaches to non-ILS equipped airports, thereby increasing the reliability of scheduled flights and omitting costs arising with alternate landings. With the integrated terrain database, controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) will be omitted.
It is designed to minimize cockpit workload, cut interpretation time and cutout input errors, such as caused by inadvertent entering of wrong coordinates into the aircraft navigation system. The system will save time and fuel costs and thus minimize air pollution, and it increases aircraft utilization and brings efficiency benefits to the airlines.
The new system will allow aircrafts to take advantage of reduced separation and follow optimized flight paths by using GNSS navigation. The new air navigation and flight control system helps solve air traffic congestion, improve safety, reduce human factors errors, simplify cockpit equipment, and increase capacity limitations in North Atlantic and Pacific airspace, in continental airspace and in terminal areas of airports around the world. This invention relates to a method and a device for an integrated air navigation and flight control system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
