Title:
FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAVING PERFORMANCE TABLE DATALINK FUNCTION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019051924
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a technology for computing predicted flight profile and related trip prediction parameters in a flight management system.SOLUTION: A flight management system is capable of monitoring changes in airplane characteristics. The flight management system is configured with a datalink management function that enables the uploading of updated performance table data from a ground station via a datalink. Upon receipt of updated aerodynamic and propulsion performance data via the datalink, the flight management system creates or updates a set of airplane performance tables or curves in a database which can be utilized to compute more accurate flight profile and trip prediction parameters, such as estimated time of arrival and predicted fuel consumption quantity.SELECTED DRAWING: None
