Mission Planning Systems

Introduction

Computer-based Flight and Mission Planning Systems (MPS) are software applications used in developing navigation solutions, communication settings, flight and mission calculations, and other pertinent aeronautical data. With the advancement of performance based navigation, and the aircraft equipment that supports these types of navigation, MPS are being used in more challenging and potentially hazardous ways. Therefore, any MPS applications transferring, translating, manipulating or generating aeronautical information in this context should be designed and assured commensurate with the integrity requirements for the data they process.
