Advanced Guidance & Control

This project facilitated introduction and certification of safer and operationally more effective advanced flight guidance & control (FG&C) systems.

The overall objective of the research was to clear associated with introduction and certification of advanced FG&C systems by addressing questions and risk elements:

  • Suitability of the functionally integrated FG&C concept to operate successfully in the current and future ATC environment
  • Safety benefits of redesigned/more flight crew friendly interfaces and simpler system operations
    • Possible reduction in flight crew errors
    • Improved system operation awareness
    • Improved alerting for required flight crew interventions
  • System acceptance by flight crews trained in the use of more traditional designs
  • The impact of the modified systems operations concept on flight crew training
  • Possible certification issues associated with highly integrated generic FG&C design with co-hosted functions
  • Business case or cost benefit analysis for the application of the technology/concepts
