Abstract
This paper describes the design and development of an experimental GIS prototype that may be used to assist experienced pilots, student pilots and flight instructors for post‐flight evaluation of navigation performance. The system is developed as a GIS experimental application which employs geographical data derived from the Digital Chart of the World integrated with airspace data derived from the ICAO 1:500,000 Aeronautical Chart. Real‐time data are collected and integrated within a monitoring computing environment from external sensors which include GPS, altitude and relative motion sensors. This enables the generation of multi‐layered digital maps and navigation data capable of being rapidly re‐configured to enhance visualization by abstraction. The integration of real time navigation data with geographical data facilitates airborne decision‐making, cockpit management, and makes a valuable contribution to flight safety.
