Bulk Aircraft Navigation Data Simulator and Comparison Tool
Systems and methods for simulating translated aircraft terminal procedures and comparing them to detect for errors in the translation of the terminal procedures. In several examples, regulatory agency's routes and procedures for a given airspace are translated into instructions that can be read by a flight computer, which is configured to assist pilots to adhere to agency procedures during flights .
A given terminal procedure can have multiple translations associated with it. In order to determine the accuracy of the translation process, the translations provided by those vendors can be simulated by a computer, which is configured to simulate an aircraft's airspace traversal using the instructions loaded on to the flight computer.
The data generated by the simulations can be used to compare the translations to detect errors in the translation process.
