Flight Validation FLIGHT VALIDATION Flight validation of instrument flight procedures has become an essential segment of flight inspection, as civil aviation is increasingly replacing the use of terrestrial NAVAIDS in favour of GNSS for en-route navigation (RNP) and, to a lesser degree for landing, where ILS will continue to be predominantly used.

Engineering & Support VALIDATION OF NAV DATABASES Commercial aviation is almost inconceivable today without GPS navigation and the ICAO Performance Based Navigation (PBN) concept. The integrity of the flight management system (FMS) database is vitally important for GPS RNAV and precision approach procedures. The same applies for approach procedures with autopilot based barometric altitude guidance (AP BaroVNAV). For this reason, all new or modified approach and departure procedure data in German airspace are coded in a special “preproduction” database produced in the regular processing chain in line with ICAO recommendations. These are subsequently flight validated and checked by means of the special FCS FIDIT Tool. FIDIT (Flight Inspection Database Integrity Tool) is based on the dbit® database tool employed by Lufthansa. FIDIT provides an automated comparison and validation of procedure data in ARINC 424 and FMS formats against applicable tolerances and reference data. Instead of a periodic flight inspection or flight validation of GPS based procedures, FCS carries out an annual database check to confirm that the procedure coding is still identical with published data. FCS offers to support the validation e.g. of tailored or company routes NAV databases using our dedicated toolset. We are looking forward to your inquiry.
