Subject syllabus
1. Complex digital pitot-static systems (ADC).
2. Attitude & Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Inertial Reference Systems (IRS).
3. Combined scheme of inertial systems and pitot-static systems (ADIRU).
4. Auto-flight systems - system description, control function, guiding function, protections.
5. Automatic systems of airplane control - Autopilot, Flight Director, stability control (Yaw damper).
6. Automatic systems of airplane guidance – FMS.
7. Systems of complex data displaying - EFIS, ECAM, FMA, MCDU, HUD.
8. Advanced level automatic flight control systems – auto-land, backup systems - BUSS.
9. Flight control systems FBW (Fly-By-Wire) and FBL (Fly-By-Light).
10. Flight control - levels of automation (control laws), fail passive/operational.
11. Automatic thrust control systems – auto-throttle / auto-thrust, FADEC.
12. Automatic rescue systems – anti-collision system TCAS, ground proximity warning system GPWS.
13. Future systems for navigation, communication and radar surveillance FANS (ACARS, CPDLC, ADS-B/C, SAT-ADS).
