  • Flight management system, process, and program product enabling dynamic switching between non-precision approach modes
    Patent number: 8121747
    Abstract: Embodiments of a process and a program product are provided suitable for implantation by a flight management system (FMS), which is deployed onboard an aircraft and including a display device and a user interface. The FMS operable in a plurality of non-precision approach modes. In one embodiment, the process includes the steps of: (i) receiving data via the user interface designating an approach in a flight plan; (ii) enabling the pilot to utilize the user interface to select a non-precision approach mode from the plurality of non-precision approach modes if the designated approach is a non-precision approach; and (iii) placing the FMS in the selected non-precision approach mode during the designated approach.
