Flight Management System (FMS) for the Agusta AW139/AB139 Helicopter
The FMS supplies vertical predicted information for each waypoint
and shows in small characters. Pilot entries are used to modify and
further define the vertical profile. The following information is
displayed and/or entered for each waypoint in the flight plan.
— ALTITUDE -- Predicted altitudes are displayed in small characters
for each waypoint. Pilot entries, displayed in large characters,
become altitude constraints for VNAV. Altitude constraints from
procedures are also displayed in large characters.
— CONSTRAINT TYPE -- Constraint type is displayed directly
above altitude constraints, as shown in Figure 7--8. The
constraint type shows as CLB for climb constraints and DES for
descent constraints. The FMS automatically assigns constraints
in the first half of the flight plan as CLB, unless the entered
constraint is below the current aircraft altitude, and those in the
last half as DES. This automatic assignment is correct for most
flights. The pilot can make an overriding entry: C, CLB, D, or DES
are accepted as entries. Pilot entries are required for flights that
climb, descend, and climb again.
— SPEED -- Speed is displayed except when an angle is entered,
as shown in Figure 7--9. A predicted speed for each waypoint is
displayed. Speed is entered in either CAS or MACH. When the
waypoint is in a path descent, the angle is displayed.
