Research and Prototyping

AeroNavData actively conducts research on the latest data coding and transfer methods.  We have worked to determine the most efficient and accurate methods of coding and delivering instrument flight procedures so that they load smoothly in the flight management system and work as the TERPs designer intended.

Examples of our work in this area include:

• Providing FAA’s Aero Nav Services team with prototype data to support new coding rules
• Recommendations for validation and integrity process changes
• Analyzing how an FMS would fly a proposed design before the source documentation is sent for quality control and approval
• Researching industry practices of navigation data providers, end users, and Flight Management System (FMS) manufacturers then providing detailed analysis
• Standards research and analysis of data needed to support future aircraft systems
• Impact analysis of upcoming ARINC Supplements and coding rules
• Adhoc coding analysis to uncover integrity or usability issues and suggest a resolution
