GE Aviation today announced the successful demonstration of
several Linzhi, China Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures
by a Boeing 737 airplane using the GE Aviation Flight Management
Computer (FMC). This successful flight demonstration proved once again
that the GE Aviation FMC is capable of safely guiding the aircraft
through the most demanding of the world's navigation procedures.
"The successful integration of RNP capabilities into our flight
management software keeps GE Aviation's FMC on the leading edge of
technology," said Dr. John Ferrie, President, Systems for GE Aviation.
"The upgrade supports our customers' need for safe, flexible and
economical route options, particularly as more airports move to
implement RNP worldwide."
The FMC RNP capabilities enable the aircraft to fly routes with a
combination of straight and curved path segments, ideal for
terrain-challenged airports like the one in Linzhi, China. The
procedures also provide significant fuel and time savings by allowing
operators to use more economical, shorter routes, in addition to
routes that reduce the level of noise in a community. GE's FMC is
standard equipment on all new 737s, and similar computer is customer
selected on the A320, A330 and A340 series aircraft. It is also flying
on a large number of Government owned aircraft around the world. The
flight management computer is provided through the Systems division of
GE Aviation.
