Simrad's is called SimNet, Raymarine's is called SeaTalk NG, Stowe's is called Dataline 2000, and BRP's is called CZone. Some of these, such as SimNet and Seatalk NG, are a standard NMEA 2000 network but use non-standard connectors and cabling; adapters are available to convert to standard NMEA 2000 connectors, or the user can simply remove the ...
Due to reorganizations in 1993 and 1998, the current Raymarine - at the time still under the name of the parent company - was created. In January 2001, Raymarine was formed when the division was acquired in a management buy-out backed by Hg. [4] In December 2004 the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange quadrupling Hg's investment. [5]
Flight director (FD) modes integrated with autopilot systems perform calculations for more advanced automation, like "selected course (intercepting), changing altitudes, and tracking navigation sources with cross winds." [1] FD computes and displays the proper pitch and bank angles required for the aircraft to follow a selected flight path.
Fully manual, partially assisted and fully autonomous flight modes [2] Integration with position, speed, altitude and rotation sensors [3] Automatic triggering of cameras or external actuators [4] PX4 is capable of integrating with other autopilot software, such as the QGroundControl ground control station software, via the MAVLink protocol.
An Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) is a key component of the integrated Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS), which supplies air data (airspeed, angle of attack and altitude) and inertial reference (position and attitude) information to the pilots' electronic flight instrument system displays as well as other systems on the aircraft such as the engines, autopilot, aircraft ...
The autopilot control panel of a Boeing 747-200 aircraft. An autopilot is a system used to control the path of a vehicle without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators.
The control panel for the Minneapolis-Honeywell C-1 gyroscopic autopilot, used on B-24 bombers. The gyroscopic autopilot was a type of autopilot system developed primarily for aviation uses in the early 20th century. Since then, the principles of this autopilot has been the basis of many different aircraft control systems, both military and ...
Thrust levers of an A320 set to the autothrust position during cruise flight. An autothrottle (automatic throttle, also known as autothrust, A/T or A/THR) is a system that allows a pilot to control the power setting of an aircraft's engines by specifying a desired flight characteristic, rather than manually controlling the fuel flow.
