Vertical Navigation (VNAV) #28

@997R8V10

Description

@997R8V10

Build a VNAV system with the new Autopilot System. This should be able to comply with altitude and speed restrictions and generate FMS Descent paths. A new VNAV Autopilot Vertical mode should be implemented with sub modes.

FMS

  • Add PERF INIT to FMS with Climb/Cruise/Descent speeds
  • Fetch grib point for every waypoint on flight plan at predicted alt. May be worth fetching points at various altitudes
  • Add speed/alt limit field
  • Add Transition Alt and Level fields

VNAV Path Planning

  • Recalculate path when any input data is changed
  • Once the descent is started, angles should not be adjusted unless the plane is on a level segment
  • Plan descent at a default 3.0 FPA (Specified on perf init)
  • Working from bottom to top, build slow down fixes for speed restrictions
  • Above 10000AGL, adjust angle per segment to target an idle descent
