LPV Navigator

Innovative Solutions & Support designed its LPV Navigator to allow for LPV operations without having to modify the existing FMS in older aircraft. This saves many operators from performing costly FMS and MMR upgrades. The solution is easily integrated into our Flat Panel Display System increasing operator flexibility while minimizing aircraft downtime.

IS&S Flat Panel Display System with Integrated RNP/LPV Navigator

• Adds 2 Beta-3 WAAS GPS Receivers with antennas
• Adds Flat Panel Display System
• Adds Integrated Standby Unit
• Retains Legacy FMS
• Adds the core IS&S Navigator Engine in the primary display system
• Adds in the relays to switch flight controls from legacy FMS to the RNP Navigator
• Provides the capability to perform LPV approaches
• Provides DO-260B ADS-B Out compliant position data output

Operators will continue to fly takeoff, departure, en route and arrival flight segments using their legacy FMS.  The IS&S system will provide the existing FMS accurate position information from the Beta-3 GPS receiver by blending the existing IRU data with accurate WAAS position information.

Once a flight is cleared for an LPV approach, that approach is entered into the IS&S display system.  Aircraft control can be switched to IS&S for the approach segment with the flight plan presented seamlessly to the pilot on the IS&S FPDS.

This Next Generation upgrade solution provides LPV navigational guidance using high accuracy GPS position data and complies with RTCA DO-229 Class Delta-4 architecture. The IS&S navigation system is already certified and installed on the Eclipse E500, E550, C-130 and L-100. The included Beta 3 GPS Navigation system provides three-dimensional position and velocity information accurate to 10 feet and data required as part of full ADS-B Out mandate compliance.
