The Federal Aviation Administration`s Advanced Avionics Handbook is a critical tool for anyone seriously interested in flying modern airplanes. As modern technology continues to revolutionize the science of flight, it is the responsibility of every pilot, student, and flight engineer to be up to date on the most advanced avionics equipment available. This easy to read handbook introduces pilots and other readers to flight operations in aircrafts with the latest integrated "glass cockpit" advanced avionics systems.
Providing aviators with comprehensive information on the advanced avionics equipment available in technically sophisticated aircraft, this FAA handbook covers a wide range of subjects about the essentials of operating cockpit-computers, including data entry, primary flight display (PFD), multi-function display (MFD), moving maps, traffic data, fuel management systems, electronic charts and checklists, common pilot errors and instrument failures, and more. Each phase of flight is covered, ensuring readers will know how to execute departure, en route, and approach procedures using glass cockpit instrumentation. Essential skills checklists and summaries conclude each chapter for a complete review and quick-check reference.
Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), Distributed IMA (DIMA), and Modular Certification are widely discussed approaches in the aerospace community at the moment. IMA deals with the idea of sharing hardware resources and integrating several aircraft functions into one hardware unit to reduce weight, space, cabling, power consumption and costs. DIMA architectures provide more flexibility to the used hardware by splitting it up into several smaller units, distributed all over the aircraft and connected by a safetycritical communication system. Modular Certification uses the modularity provided by those systems to split their certification into several parts, which reduces development time and effort. Based on these prerequisites, the concept of a distributed and integrated platform solution is introduced. It defines the constraints and services needed for implementing a modular certifiable and flexible platform, which is able to handle all safetycritical functions in an aircraft. This book discusses the platforms attributes and certification demands, identifies its requirements and constraints and considers its applications and business opportunities.
