AET3220 — Flight Management and Control
This course introduces students to the study of flight management and control systems, including the theoretical concepts and maintenance of autopilots, integrated flight control systems, and flight management systems. Additional study includes interaction with area navigation systems, including Automatic Direction Finding (ADF), land-based area navigation (VOR/DME R-NAV), and GPS. Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: create a flight plan on the GNS 430W and G900 simulators including frequencies, waypoints, and GPS approaches to determine proficiency on the operation of an integrated avionics system and develop a flight plan on the actual GNS 430W avionics package to determine if the operation, configuration and wiring is correct.
