Flight Inspection Systems
Flight Inspection Systems are installed in aircraft, and they have dedicated antennas, receivers/transceivers and sensors to collect (usually real-time acquisition) data from navigation aids under inspection. The data received by this equipment are decoded by flight inspection computers and compared with the real aircraft position, which accuracy is essential. This position can be calculated by several devices and techniques (GPS, inertial systems, barometric systems, landmark systems...) or sent to the flight inspection aircraft by external (usually optical) devices. This process results are displayed on operator/inspector workstations, also installed in the aircraft.

Famous quotes containing the words flight, inspection and/or systems:
“Here I am.... You get the parts of me you like and also the parts that make you uncomfortable. You have to understand that other people’s comfort is no longer my job. I am no longer a flight attendant.”
—Patricia Ireland (b. 1935)
“Thus the orb he roamed
With narrow search, and with inspection deep
Considered every creature, which of all
Most opportune might serve his wiles, and found
The serpent subtlest beast of all the field.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.”
—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
