    Abstract
  • The characteristics and influencing factors of flight technical error (FTE) in performance based navigation (PBN) were analyzed in terms of human factors, aircraft performances and environmental factors.The research and statistical analysis of FTE estimation based on flight experiments were discussed according to navigation schemes and certain operation configurations, and the limitations of the methods were discussed.The estimation models and methods of FTE variance based on moulding mechanism were researched, and the characteristicsand applied ranges of different methods were discussed.The limitations of current researches and expectation of further work were analyzed in terms of FTE estimation method and FTE application.Analysis result indicates that the effect of flying strategy on FTE is prominent when the manual mode is active.Furthermore, lateral FTE is inversely correlated with the sensitivity of course deviation indicator.The standard deviations of lateral FTE for certain general aviation aircrafts are as much as 759.32 and 481.52 m, and the main cause is lack of high-precision onboard navigation system.The FTE estimation method based on fitting flight experiment data has certain limitation because it can not cover all aircraft types, flight segments or weather conditions.The standard deviations of lateral and vertical FTE are 2.68 and 1.13 mrespectively because of using moulding mechanism.The method is proved to be effective through the comparison of both simulation result and test data.The onboard navigation equipment using a certain constant in substitute of real-time FTE estimation will endanger the aircraft.An important research direction in the future is to diminish the FTE in PBN with the consideration of multiple coupled factors.
