Navigating Success: A Deep Dive into the CMA-9000 FMS Simulator

4.5 Approach & Landing

• Before T/D (Top of Descent), load arrival via DEP ARR → ARRIVAL.
• Select STAR, transition, and approach (e.g., ILS).
• Arm VNAV: Press VNAV on mode control panel (not FMS key).
• Monitor vertical deviation on PFD.

• UI Layer: CDU rendering and user input handler.
• Core FMS Engine: Navigation database, flight plan manager, lateral/vertical nav algorithms, performance calculator.
• I/O Layer: Interfaces to simulators (SimConnect, X-Plane UDP), autopilot mocks, and hardware CDU panels.
• Persistence: Local database for procedures, aircraft profiles, and scenario logs.

4.3 Performance (PERF) Settings

• PERF → TAKEOFF:
• Hardware integration:

  1. Fundamentals of an FMS

  • Purpose: Automates navigation, performance calculations, and lateral/vertical flight guidance to reduce pilot workload.
  • Core functions: Flight planning, navigation database management, performance and takeoff/landing calculations, VNAV/ LNAV guidance, lateral navigation (RNAV), and flight data output to autopilot and instruments.
  • Interfaces: CDU (control display unit), GPS/INS sensors, autopilot, radios, TCAS/Weather systems, and aircraft data busses (e.g., ARINC 429/AFDX depending on platform).
