Flight Management System 2

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

This course continues on the preceding course Flight management system 1 and is devoted to the aircraft guidance in both control planes, vertical plane and horizontal one. Special attention is devoted to the lending flight phases: final approach and touch down. Then follow systems of semiautomatic control. At the conclusion of this course are presented ways of aircraft engine control and board and flight procedures.
