Flight Management Systems

A Flight Management System (FMS) is an onboard computer used in modern aircraft to automate and streamline navigation, flight planning, and fuel management. It integrates data from sensors, GPS, and other sources to calculate optimal routes, manage speed and altitude, and assist pilots in precise navigation. The FMS reduces workload, enhances safety, and improves efficiency by providing accurate, real-time guidance, enabling pilots to focus on monitoring and decision-making without manual calculations. It is an essential tool in contemporary aviation, ensuring smooth, safe, and efficient flights.
