flight management
A quantum leap in Flight Management
Picture a pilot navigating the crowded skies over a major European city with a dark thundercloud looming ahead. Avoiding the storm is a matter of urgency, but how? Fortunately, the decision to change trajectory has just become easier, thanks to Thales's new-generation Flight Management System (FMS) for civil and military aircraft, PureFlyt, which provides pilots with more detailed weather information as the flight progresses. It does this with agile functions including flight planning and trajectory computation, fuel management, horizontal and vertical guidance, datalink connections with on-ground counterparts, and location capabilities. A user-friendly "What You See Is What You Fly" display shows the pilot precisely how the aircraft is forecast to behave throughout the duration of the flight up until wheels touch ground.
