FLS PDF

The document discusses the Flight Management System Landing System (FLS). FLS uses the Flight Management System (FMS) to compute a virtual beam from the runway threshold to guide the aircraft during non-precision approaches, similar to an ILS. It generates guidance cues on the primary flight display. The aircraft uses two independent GPS receivers in Multi Mode Receivers (MMRs) to provide positioning data to the FMS. The FMS then computes the virtual beam which is shown on the flight displays to guide the pilot. FLS provides vertical and lateral guidance during final approach segments of non-precision approaches.

1
Knowledge
FLS stands for Flight Management
Landing System. In these approaches,
the FMS computes a virtual beam from
the runway threshold up the approach
path, by computing virtual lateral and
vertical deviations displayed on the
PFD.

FLS is not a type of Approach, it is a


Guidance Mode.

To fly all non-precision Approaches,


excepts RNP-AR, with a lookalike ILS
Display and guidance.

The aircraft has two independent GPS


receivers. Each GPS receiver is
integrated in a modular avionics unit
called MMR (Multi Mode Receiver)
(GPS 1 receiver in MMR1, GPS2
receiver in MMR2.

FLS virtual beam – anchor point

FLS Distinctive Symbology

FLS Capability
- Initial and intermediate approach
accuracy checks to confirm the FLS
capability.
Failure cause capability
NAV FLS 1(2) FAULT Related MMR faulty F-LOC - F-G/S

NAV FLS 1+2 FAULT Both MMR faulty NO FLS

NAV GPS 1(2) FAULT Lost of one or both GPS F-APP+RAW

NAV FM/GPS POS FLS RAW ONLY


DISAGREE

- At 700ft RA, the MMR freezes the FLS


beam data. Therefore, NO change in
the FLS beam from the FMS.

-At 150ft, the FMA display


“DISCONNECT AP FOR LD”.

Alerts
- Massage on the MCDU
“NO FLS FOR THIS APP”
Is Displayed if the angle between final
approach leg and RWY leg is greater
than 50°.

6
limits
- Can only be flown in straight in
Approaches.

- it's automatically adjected for


temperature and QNH, once, they are
inserted in the PER page.

- Can be selected and captured up to


100nm (Be aware of obstacle
clearance).

- The FLS beam is displayed if:


- The LS pb is pressed. And

- In ARC mode the ND range at or


less than 80nm. Or

- In ROSE NAV mode the ND range


at or less than 160nm.

7
limits
- End Point EP is displayed on FLT-P
page as
- RWYxxx e.g. RWY32L, If EP less than or
equal to 0.14nm from the threshold.

- Epxxx e.g. EP22, If EP greater than


0.14nm from the threshold.

8
limits
- End Point EP is NOT displayed on FLT-P
page
- When the MAP is located before the
RWY threshold, the FMS computes a
fictitious point named pseudo FEP that
represents the anchor point EPxx, e.g.
EP22 (22 RWY identification) but not
displayed in the FLT-P.

Conclusion
FMS
Flight management System, to
compute final Path from the
stored Data

FLS
Generate Beam

MMR
multi-mode receiver,
It will receive the basic GPS
signal

FG
Flight Guidance on the PFD
