FMS Achievements

Abstract

During the time that the Lockheed Flight Management System (FMS) has been in service in TriStar aircraft since certification by the FAA in 1977, sophistication and capability have been enhanced and the system has been simplified procedurally. Fuel conservation and cost savings are major considerations and continuing efforts in the regime of flight management are made to these ends.
