TECHNIQUES AND FACILITIES USED FOR EVALUATING AIRCRAFT PILOT - NAVIGATIONAL EQUIPMENT IN FLIGHT TESTS

摘要

The specialists at M.M. Gromov Flight Research Institute (FRI) have developed special techniques and facilities to evaluate the aircraft pilot - navigational equipment for conformance to the specified requirements. Onboard trajectory measurement complex equipment is used for data recording and determination of actual values of trajectory parameters. The parameter values are obtained using differential mode of the satellite navigation system. Flight test process is monitored at the flight test control center. The use of a test-bench and simulation complex allows reducing the scope and costs of flight tests. Flight test data are transmitted to the specialists for processing via local computer network on the day of flight tests. The article covers the description of facilities used for testing pilot - navigational equipment of new aircraft at M.M. Gromov Flight Research Institute.
