The GPS rarely flies an airliner if ever, it is the Flight Management Computer which computes a flight path based on programed waypoints and tunes appropriate pre-programmed navaids, these are given lateral navigation information from the Inertial Navigation Systems and vertical navigation by the altimeters and radio altimeters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510895126408960571.post-89701420681008001612012-03-18T18:44:58.442-04:002012-03-18T18:44:58.442-04:00Kyle, I'm happy that you found Capt.

It's made a strong impression on me, and left me spring-loaded NOT to ask, "What's it doing now?" but to turn the box off and fly the airplane. <br /><br />Blue skies and tailwinds, Kyle,<br /><br />FrankFrank Van Hastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821687850881538546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510895126408960571.post-41490260318844784322012-03-18T17:49:37.771-04:002012-03-18T17:49:37.771-04:00I was present when this was filmed at the AA fligh...I was present when this was filmed at the AA flight academy; I was a junior MD-80 F/O at the time. Additionally I was fortunate enough to have Capt. VanderBurgh as an instructor when I transitioned to the 75/76 program. Been looking for this for years and can't believe I finally found it.

I can really relate to to the presenter's "three levels of automation" approach, and I find it very helpful to drop down a notch (or two!) as things become more dynamic in the terminal area.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting.<br /><br />FrankFrank Van Hastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821687850881538546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510895126408960571.post-24548971583344676192011-11-15T07:00:25.612-05:002011-11-15T07:00:25.612-05:00Great video for all of us.
