Abstract

Significant changes are coming to the communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) systems on board civil transport aircraft. Initiatives such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Future Air Navigation System (FANS) and those of other national and inter-governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Eurocontrol will mandate that these be based on satellite technologies. The paper examines how these technologies will be integrated on one of the most advanced flight decks in commercial aviation, the MD-11, and explores some of the issues raised
