(2) Previously, airplanes were navigated by flying from station to station along the route from the airplane’s origin to destination. The pitot used distance measuring equipment(DME), VHF omnirange (VOR)and automatic direction finder(ADF) to fly to each station. With the advent of

inertial navigation system(INS), it became possible to fly a more direct route from origin to destinatin. A direct, great circle route is highly desirable because of potential fuel and time savings. Because of possible position errors in inertial systems the pitot is required to verify the inertial position with the DOME, VOR and ADF system. The computations required to verify the inertial position are lengthy and time consuming and are much more suited to an onboard computer. Also, since the airplane is not on a course to a nearby station but on a direct course to a distant destination, the computations are move complex.

(3) The flight management computer system (FMCS) continuously calculates the optimum flight path and engine thrust to save time and fuel. During takeoff, the FMCS provides optimized thrust setting for takeoff based on gross weight of the airplane and outside temperature. During climb, the FMCS provides optimized climb profiles by predicting both opimum altitude and cruise speeds.further, the FMCS provides projections of top of climb and step climbs. During cruise, the FMCS optimizes descents by predicting top of descent speeds are targeted to make maximum utilization of the potential energy of the airplane.
