FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM UNS---1B, UNS---1C , UNC---1E and UNC---1Ew.
Introduction
FMS (Flight Management System) UNS---1B,1C,1E and 1Ew is a fully integrated navigation management
system. designed to provide the pilot with centralized control of the aircraft’s navigation sensors, computer---
based flight planning, and fuel management.
The cockpit control consists of a CDU (Control Display Unit) with a display screen and keyboard. The CDU is
used to access the desired function or mode of operation, select from stored non---volatile memory items in the
database and enter customized flight plans. The flight plan may include airways, in---flight maneuvers, holding
patterns, terminal procedures and approaches.
The FMS computer combines the flight plan information entered by the pilot, information received from
navigation sensors and information stored in memory. Sensors available to the FMS include DME (Distance
Measuring Equipment), VOR (VHF Omni---directional Range), and an internal GPS (Global Positioning System)
or external GPS (Global Positioning System). The UNS---1Ew is equipped with WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS
capability.
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) consist of the following: The American Global Positioning
System (GPS), Russian Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS). The GNSS system is
enhanced with a Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) used to enhance the three dimensional accuracy
of the GPS to provide performance comparable to CAT 1 landings. Covering the North American airspace is a
combination of ground base reference stations and geostationary satellites called Wide Area Augmentation
System (WAAS). Covering European airspace the SBAS is called European Geostationary Navigation Overlay
Service System (EGNOS). Covering Japanese airspace is the Satelllite Augmentation System (MSAS). Only the
UNS---1Ew FMS is SBAS capable.
In addition to the navigational inputs, the system also receives true airspeed and altitude information from the air
data computer, digital fuel flow data from the aircraft’s fuel flow sensors and heading data from the aircraft
compass system.
The primary position data received from the sensors is combined in a Kalman Filter within the FMS to derive a
‘Best Computed Position’ (BCP). Utilizing this BCP, the FMS navigates the aircraft along the pilot ---programmed

flight path which can include departure procedures (SIDs), airways, in---flight maneuvers, holding patterns,
arrival procedures (STARs), approaches and runways.
FMS annunciators, incorporated into the EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System) display, include MSG
(message), WPT (lateral waypoint alert), SXTK (selected crosstrack), FMS HDG (heading), FMS APPR
(approach), and GPS INTEG (GPS Integrity)
NOTE
To prevent errors, avoid pushing more than one key at a time. When selecting a CDU page verify the page
title to ensure the desired page appears. Being familiar with the locations of the functions and the
operating procedures will result in efficient and accurate FMS use.
