An automatic four dimensional navigation mode covering a terminal maneuvering area was developed and flight tested for the automatic digital flight control system of the HFB 320 test aircraft. Algorithms for the computation of the flight path take into account the current wind situation. Techniques for wind measurement, filtering and prediction were developed. The results of the flight trials are discussed. It is shown that temporal error limits of +or- 5 sec are obtained under the most differing wind situations. The aircraft-oriented wind prediction extrapolation system based Kalman filtering techniques is very efficient.
