Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional navigation is dependent upon ground-based radio navigation aids. It has been the mainstay of aviation for the last years. Pilots, operators, and manufacturers are all familiar with the associated technology, avionics, instrumentation, operations, training and performance. Performance-based navigation (PBN) detailed in the Performance-based Navigation (PBN) Manual (ICAO Doc 9613), is based upon area navigation principles. While various methods of area navigation have been in existence for many years, the widespread use of area navigation as a primary navigation function is a more recent phenomenon. The PBN concept is intended to better define the use of area navigation systems and is expected to replace many of the existing conventional navigation routes within the next twenty years. The fundamentals of PBN operations are relatively straightforward, and operational approval need not be a complicated process for either applicant or regulator. However, the transition to new technology, new navigation and new operational concepts and the dependence on data-driven operations require careful management. In this manual you will learn all about PBN, RNAV and RNP procedures.

Download or read book Human Factors Considerations for Performance Based Navigation written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A transition toward a performance-based navigation system is currently underway in both the United States and around the world. Performance-based navigation incorporates Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures that do not rely on the location of ground-based navigation aids. These procedures offer significant benefits to both operators and air traffic managers. Under sponsorship from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has undertaken a project to document human factors issues that have emerged during RNAV and RNP operations and propose areas for further consideration. Issues were found to include aspects of air traffic control and airline procedures, aircraft systems, and procedure design. Major findings suggest the need for human factors-specific instrument procedure design guidelines. Ongoing industry and government activities to address air-ground communication terminology, procedure design improvements, and chart-database commonality are strongly encouraged.Barhydt, Richard and Adams, Catherine A.Langley Research CenterAREA NAVIGATION; HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING; NASA PROGRAMS; FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS; AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE; AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL; FLIGHT OPERATIONS; AIRLINE OPERATIONS; GROUND-AIR-GROUND COMMUNICATION; CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN; PILOT TRAINING; NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM

Download or read book Quad Rotorcraft Control written by Luis Rodolfo García Carrillo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quad Rotorcraft Control develops original control methods for the navigation and hovering flight of an autonomous mini-quad-rotor robotic helicopter. These methods use an imaging system and a combination of inertial and altitude sensors to localize and guide the movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to its immediate environment. The history, classification and applications of UAVs are introduced, followed by a description of modelling techniques for quad-rotors and the experimental platform itself. A control strategy for the improvement of attitude stabilization in quad-rotors is then proposed and tested in real-time experiments. The strategy, based on the use low-cost components and with experimentally-established robustness, avoids drift in the UAV’s angular position by the addition of an internal control loop to each electronic speed controller ensuring that, during hovering flight, all four motors turn at almost the same speed. The quad-rotor’s Euler angles being very close to the origin, other sensors like GPS or image-sensing equipment can be incorporated to perform autonomous positioning or trajectory-tracking tasks. Two vision-based strategies, each designed to deal with a specific kind of mission, are introduced and separately tested. The first stabilizes the quad-rotor over a landing pad on the ground; it extracts the 3-dimensional position using homography estimation and derives translational velocity by optical flow calculation. The second combines colour-extraction and line-detection algorithms to control the quad-rotor’s 3-dimensional position and achieves forward velocity regulation during a road-following task. In order to estimate the translational-dynamical characteristics of the quad-rotor (relative position and translational velocity) as they evolve within a building or other unstructured, GPS-deprived environment, imaging, inertial and altitude sensors are combined in a state observer. The text give the reader a current view of the problems encountered in UAV control, specifically those relating to quad-rotor flying machines and it will interest researchers and graduate students working in that field. The vision-based control strategies presented help the reader to a better understanding of how an imaging system can be used to obtain the information required for performance of the hovering and navigation tasks ubiquitous in rotored UAV operation.

Book excerpt: Area navigation (RNAV) and required navigation performance (RNP) procedures are fundamental to the implementation of a performance based navigation (PBN) system, which is a key enabling technology for the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). As new RNAV and RNP procedures are developed, they are published as chartsfor use by appropriately qualified pilots. These chartsand procedures describe paths that must be flown preciselyfor improveduse ofairspace and safety.In this document, we considerhow chartsfor both conventional and PBN procedures are designedfrom ahuman factors perspective.First, we document current charting challenges and mitigation strategies. Next, wedescribe areview ofprocedures thatwas done to discover whichfeatures wererelated to difficulty of use or visual complexity. The moredifficult instrument approachcharts depict procedures with moreflight paths, path segments, and radius-to-fix legs.Standard instrument departure procedures that are more difficult show more flight paths. Standard terminal arrival route procedures that are more difficult have more total altitude constraints and path segments.Finally, we describe the process for designing and implementing new instrument procedures, whichinvolves significant coordination both inside and outside the government

Download or read book NextGen for Airports Understanding the airport s role in performance based navigation resource guide written by Sebastian D. Timar and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) refers to the federal programs (predominately airspace, air traffic, or avionics related) that are designed to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS). The Airport Cooperative Research Program's (ACRP's) NextGen initiative aims to inform airport operators about some of these programs and how the enabling practices, data, and technologies resulting from them will affect airports and change how they operate. Volume 1, Understanding the airport's role in performance-based navigation : resource guide, provides comprehensive information to practitioners concerning all aspects of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) and how implementation affects overall airport operations. This Resource Guide encompasses background information, description of effects on short- and long-term airport development, impacts on safety and performance measures, and other critical factors affecting future airport operations. In addition to providing guidance to users on available resources for additional assistance, this volume also includes lessons learned and best practices based on findings from case studies that examined the airport operator's role in PBN implementation. Volume 2, Engaging airport stakeholders : guidebook, helps airports engage the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), aircraft operators, community representatives, and other airport stakeholders during the planning, environmental review, design, deployment, and monitoring phases of NextGen implementation. The guidance references a NextGen Outreach Toolkit, which contain videos, an interactive flow chart, and links to additional resources. The NextGen Outreach Toolkit, which will be available for download from a forthcoming website, accompanies Volume 2. The Toolkit also incorporates material created in conjunction with the other projects in the ACRP 150 (NextGen) series. These materials may help airports establish a continuous engagement strategy to balance stakeholder needs as well as efficient NextGen implementation. Volume 3, Resources for airports, is a resource guide that provides a comprehensive list of NextGen technologies and initiatives categorized and described for airport practitioners, and presents existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans that could potentially affect airports of all sizes and roles, the larger aviation industry, and the public. This guide presents a likely timeline for implementation and highlights the FAA's planned rollout of near- and mid-term elements as well as its long-range vision. Appendices include a glossary of terms and a Public Information Toolkit for communicating about the NextGen initiative to the broad spectrum of external stakeholders. This Public Information Toolkit is also available at the ACRP NextGen for Airports. Volume 4, Leveraging NextGen spatial data to benefit airports : guidebook, provides information for airport operators on the creation, maintenance, and use of spatial data that is generated as a result of NextGen initiatives. The data that airports have or will have to produce is used in a variety of different ways to advance some of the NextGen programs. This guidebook identifies benefits to airports from the spatial data that is required or produced from NextGen programs, not all of which are obvious. The guidebook also describes costs, and financial and legal considerations. In addition, a customizable presentation template can be downloaded from the report webpage at www.trb.org/acrp. The presentation can be tailored to educate various communities about NextGen and spatial data.
