The Concept of Path Objects: Making the FMS More Useful
December 1999
Dr. John N. Barrer, The MITRE Corporation
ABSTRACT
The utility of the FMS can be increased significantly by addressing problems associated with; the complexity of the pilot-FMS interface, the increasing size of the FMS database and limitations on the flexibility of RNAV routes. The Concept of Path Objects offers a simple path language for expressing FMS/RNAV routes, which should simplify the pilot-FMS interface, reduce the size of the pre-stored database, and offer a means to have dynamically generated random 3D RNAV capability (primarily) for terminal area operations.
