  Instrument Approach Systems Most navigation systems approved for en route and terminal operations under IFR, such as VOR, NDB, and GPS, may also be approved to conduct IAPs. The most common systems in use in the United States ... simplified directional facility (SDF), localizer-type directional aid (LDA), and microwave landing system (MLS). These systems operate independently of other navigation systems. There are new systems being developed, such as WAAS and LAAS. Other systems have been developed for special…

  with their approved operations specifications (OpsSpecs). For aircraft equipment to qualify for a specific RNP type, it must maintain navigational accuracy at least 95 percent of the total flight time. Flight Management Systems (FMS) A flight management system ... navigation system in itself. Rather, it is a system that automates the tasks of managing the onboard navigation systems. FMS may perform other onboard management tasks, but this discussion is limited to its navigation function. FMS is an interface between…

  Electronic Flight Instrument Systems Modern technology has introduced into aviation a new method of displaying flight instruments, such as electronic flight instrument systems, integrated flight deck displays, and others. For the purpose of the practical test standards, any flight instrument ... velocity, attitude, heading and trim and trend information. Glass flight decks (a term coined to describe electronic flight instrument systems) are becoming more widespread as cost falls and dependability continually increases. These systems provide many advantages such as being lighter…
