Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Flight Management Systems

Abstract
Flight management system (FMS) is one of the key elements of the modern airplane. It is a computer-based system that helps a pilot with different routine operations. FMS includes numerous algorithms of Artificial Intelligence to support navigation, guidance, and control of aircraft. FMS hosts algorithms of airplane positioning by data from navigational aids and data fusion from multiple sensors. The internal memory of FMS includes global air navigation databases such as runways, airports data, air navigation charts, navigational aids, SIDs, STARs, approaches, and routes for automatic support of airplane operation.
