FMS functions

CW2 Nordberg
Display Screen
The 3”x 5” FMS display screen is a flat
panel display using Liquid Crystal
Displays with color capability.

• Standard character font of 20 lines

& 21 characters:

• Lines 1-4: “HEADER" body

providing essential COM or NAV
data

• Line 5: Alert Status line (providing

alerts by exception)

• Lines 6 thru 19: Main screen

• Line 20: Scratch Pad

2
 Soft-Keys
The display is bordered by ten Soft-
Keys (SK) whose function depends
on the current display screen
presentation. The upper left key is
SK-1 and the lower right SK-10.

SK-1 SK-6 These keys serve as an interface to

the operator for the individually
programmed features of the FMS.
SK-2 SK-7
Functionality of these buttons are
SK-3 SK-8 similar to those of the MFD’s.

SK-4 SK-9

SK-5 SK-10

3
Soft-Key Arrows
•Soft-Keys will perform a
function when there is an arrow
beside the key:

– Inward arrows are for functions

performed on the screen.

– Outward arrows take the

operator to a new screen.

– Absence of arrows indicate that

a function is no longer available
to the operator.

4
Paging Up/Down Arrows and PRV/NXT
•Whenever the Up/Down arrow appears
in the lower right corner of the screen
next to the scratch pad, the PRV/NXT
key is operational for paging functions.

•Paging functions include navigation

through title pages, quick review of
pages, changing records, and stepping
through flight plans.
• Indicates more pages exist, and that
• PRV/NXT available for operator use

5
BRT/DIM

•The BRT/DIM switch allows the operator

to set the brightness of the FMS display.

6
Inverse Video
•Inverse video is used to
draw the operator’s
attention.

•It is used to:

• High-light alert
conditions on the
FMS status line
• High-light SK switch
settings

Alert Message Example

8
Boxed Parameters and Editing
•A Box around a parameter
such as a time display indicates
that the parameter is either
editable or relates to editing.

•The box around the north

latitude coordinate signifies
that the box is available for
editing with entry to be made
in the scratch pad area.

•Use the ENT Fixed Function

Key (FFK) to enter or edit data
within the boxed field and to
move the edit box between
editable fields.

9
Action Confirmation
•In instances where accidental soft
key activation could affect mission
performance the operator will be
required to confirm the action.

•When the soft key is initially

pressed, the text next to the soft key
is over-written with “CONFIRM” in
inverse video. A second pressing of
the soft key will then perform the
action.

•To reset the field without

confirming the action simply
navigate to a different page.

•The CONFIRM inverse video is

similar in appearance to normal
inverse video.

10
Asterisks (****)
•When a value that is out of
range, invalid, or otherwise
undefined, asterisks or stars
**** are displayed.

•Asterisks may also replace the

soft key arrow when the length
of time between when a
command is issued and carried
out is greater than the normal
reporting period. This gives the
operator an indication that a
command is in the process of
being carried out.

11
System Start-Up
• Upon Power-Up:

1. Internal start-up BIT performed (PBIT).

2. Annunciation lights flash on, then off.
3. Start-Up screen appears.
4. First FMS to complete PBIT is Bus Controller
(BC), other becomes backup bus controller
(BBC) or remote terminal (RT).
5. BC FMS responds to inputs marginally faster
than BBC FMS.
6. BC FMS performs all required
communications and control sequences to
tune radios and computes navigation
information for display.
7. BBC FMS passes its commands to BC FMS for
coordination of full systems operation.
8. Bus Controller (BC) FMS PBIT screen can be
cleared at any time by pressing any Soft Key.
9. Remote Terminal (RT) FMS PBIT screen can
only be cleared when RT FMS has 1553B
communication with BC FMS and no mission
data base synchronization is in progress.

SINCGARS, UHF with HAVEQUICK,
LMR, MARITIME, SATCOM, DAMA
– COM-4 AN/ARC-201D (FM 2) FM SC and
SINCGARS

Twenty presets are available for each radio band.

14
Navigation Radios
•The FMS provides tuning, mode, and
test control for the following
navigation radios.

– AN/ARN-147 VOR/ILS/MB Receiver

– AN/ARN-149 LF-ADF Receiver
– AN/ARN-153 TACAN
– AN/ARS-6 PLS (HH-60M)

•Twenty presets are available for each

receiver.
15
Embedded GPS/INS (EGI)
•Dual Embedded GPS / Inertial Navigation
System (EGI) provides the aircraft with long
range, worldwide area navigation capability
(LNAV).

– GPS position / altitude

– Inertial Nav position / velocities
– EGI status
– Primary heading and attitude information for the
aircraft. (PFD and FD)
– Aircraft position output / navigation solution
selectable as:
• Blended GPS / Inertia Nav (IG1 or IG2)
• GPS only (GP1 or GP2)
• Inertial Nav only (IN1 or IN2)
16
FMS / EGI Navigation
•All flight plan waypoint distance, time, and
steering calculations are done within the FMS.

•EGI positions are with respect to WGS-84 Datum.

The FMS provides conversion from other local
datum, and provides conversion to MGRS position
coordinates. The EGIs are programmed with a 5
year WMM for magnetic variations.

•Using the EGI for navigation, the FMS provides:

– Waypoint-to-Waypoint navigation for either of 99

flight plans, each consisting of up to 999 waypoints.
– Direct-To Waypoint navigation.
– The ability to capture 25 store points “on the fly”
based on over-flying the position or on range / bearing
• The ability to construct / edit flight plans from a
calculations from a known point.
database of 999 navigation points or 25 store points.
17
Solution Blending
– Both Inertial Nav and GPS determine their position
independently, i.e. the GPS determines position from the GPS
satellites.

– The Inertial Nav position is determined by speed / heading

integration over time, applied to a known starting position, using
ring laser gyros and an accelerometer unit.

– The EGI determines GPS / Inertial Nav relative errors to

determine the rate of correction required for the Inertial Nav
position. These corrections are applied to provide the blended
solution position.

– The operator may manually exclude GPS or Inertial Nav data,

resulting in an Inertial Nav only or a GPS only solution.

– The FMS monitors the pure GPS, pure Inertial Nav, and the
blended output, and provides the appropriate navigation data to
the Multifunction Displays (MFDs). 18

• “GO”- No active faults exist for the particular

subsystem.

• “NGO”- At least one fault is active.

• “DEG”- For some subsystems, the FMS

determines a status of degraded based on
one or more subsystem faults and other
subsystems provide the FMS a rollup status of
degraded.

• “TST” – subsystem is in test mode (IBIT).

Note: “TST” is displayed when the subsystem

is commanded to initiate its test. It is
replaced by one of the other statuses once
the subsystem is no longer considered to be
in the test mode.

• “---“ – Test has not been performed or an

initiated test stopped with no results.

OVERALL TEST AND FAULT ROLL-UP
•Upon screen entry
the main page displays
the overall test of
each functional group.
•Main test indications are listed below in
order of precedence from highest to lowest:
– “TST” – a subsystem is in test mode (IBIT).
– “NGO”- indicating a condition in which at
least one subsystem associated with the
particular functional group is NGO.
– “DEG”- indicating a condition in which at
least one subsystem associated with the
particular functional group is degraded.
– “GO”- indicating all subsystems
associated with the particular functional
group are good (no faults).
– "---" – No Tests within a functional group
have been performed or an initiated test
stopped with no results.
