flygnavigationssystem
Flygnavigationssystem is the set of technologies used to determine an aircraft’s position, plan routes, and guide flight paths throughout a flight. It integrates satellite navigation, ground-based aids, air data information, and aircraft automation to support navigation, flight management, and autopilot functions. Modern systems provide position, velocity, and time data to the cockpit and to the flight management system (FMS) for route planning, fuel optimization, and safe separation from other traffic.
Core components include GNSS receivers (GPS or other satellite systems), inertial navigation systems (INS) or inertial
Systems come in several configurations. GNSS-based navigation relies on satellite signals and may be augmented by
Regulatory frameworks from ICAO and national authorities establish requirements for accuracy, integrity, and redundancy. Safety considerations
Historically, flygnavigationssystems evolved from radio navigation to inertial navigation and then to satellite-based navigation, continuously improving
