JET-FLIGHT EVALUATION OF INERTIAL NAVIGATION OPERATIONS: VOLUME I.
Abstract
This report describes the results of a jet-flight evaluation of Inertial Navigation System (INS) performance in the commercial-airline operational environment, both domestic and overwater. Evaluation objectives included (1) assessment of the compatibility of inertial techniques with the present Air Traffic Control (ATC) System, (2) determination of the relative accuracy of inertial navigation as compared with VOR/DME navigation, (3) assessment of inertial-system updating requirements, (4) evaluation of pilot-workload effects, and (5) investigation of several other aspects of the use of an inertial system in the commercial-airline environment.
