Record 3 2003-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
CONT

Modern operational weather forecasts now include information on the likelihood of various weather events, usually determined through ensemble prediction systems (EPS).

CONT

... ISCS/WAFS [International Satellite Communications System/World Area Forecast System] purpose is to provide the worldwide aviation community with operational meteorological forecasts and information about meteorological phenomena required for flight planning and safe, economic, and efficient air navigation.

CONT

Operational weather forecasts contain information about future weather. To extract the maximum amount of value from such forecasts, they must be integrated into decision making in a rational way. This can be achieved by modelling the impact of weather on the utility of a company.

OBS

Operational forecaster analyzes weather conditions and issues forecasts or alerts the public of severe weather

OBS

TRANSIT, the Navy Navigation Satellite System, was developed in the early 1960s by the Johns Hopkins Applied Research Lab. Using the Doppler principle, a radio signal from a satellite in a known orbit could be used to determine the unknown position of a radio receiver on the ground. TRANSIT demonstrated that worldwide accurate navigation was possible from space and its operational constellation of satellites in circular polar orbits are still in use today.

Subject field(s)
  • Air Navigation Aids
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
OBS

The Electronic Flight Display System(EFDS) is an updated version of the Flight Display System(FDS). It is defined as the flight instrument, associated controls, and its interface to the aircraft, and is designed to provide the pilot, co-pilot, or Navigation/Communication(NAV/COMM) Officer with a comprehensive, unambiguous presentation of navigation information adequate for both worldwide tactical and non-tactical navigation. The display unit uses a flat panel domestic Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display(AMLCD). The FDS functionally replaces the P-3 electro-mechanical Horizontal Situation Indicator(ID-1540/A), electro-mechanical Flight Director Indicators(FDI)(ID-1556), selected functions of the Navigation Availability Advisory Lights, and integrates GPS navigation with the flight instruments. Additional information such as navigational aid waypoint locations, GPS annunciation, and FDS status pages are also displayed.
