Synthetic Vision Flight Tests with Satellite Navigation

G. Sachs and P. Hermle

Abstract:	Computer generated synthetic vision is considered as a novel guidance system which uses high precision navigation data. With this system, an image of the outside world and guidance information are presented in a 3- dimensional format to the pilot. The precision navigation input for synthetic vision is based on an integrated navigation system using differential satellite and inertial navigation data. For satellite navigation, local and wide area modes are used for transmitting the differential correction data. Flight tests for validating the system were conducted, with demanding control tasks for the pilot.
