Flight Inspection of military and civil radionavigation aids requires calibration aircraft with a complex mission equipment. The measurement patterns and their flight procedures differ from usual flight procedures, which cannot be performed with normal flight management/autopilot systems. On the other hand there is a requirement for an automatic guidance, in order to increase the reproducibility of calibration results and to assist the crew operating in areas with high traffic density. Special mission flight management systems, which are available on the market, are not an elegant solution for flight inspection applications. The flight inspection system (FIS) contains already all elements of a flight management system (FMS), and the FIS has more comprehensive information on navigational data. The system approach of an integrated FIS/FMS system is presented, where special mission profiles are generated and interfaced to the autopilot. Flight test results and operational experience are reported.
