FMS (Flight Management System)

A Flight Management System (FMS) is a sophisticated onboard computer that helps pilots plan, monitor, and execute a flight efficiently. It automates tasks such as navigation, route optimization, and altitude management by processing data from various sources like GPS and sensors. The FMS calculates the best flight path, manages fuel usage, and guides the aircraft along predetermined routes, reducing pilot workload and increasing safety. It interfaces with other aircraft systems to provide real-time information, ensuring accurate, efficient, and safe flight operations from takeoff to landing.
