Hb29m 03:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)The EFIS is not part of the FMS... in an usual cockpit setup an FMS provide data to one or more EFIS via some avionic link (ARINC 429, RS-485 or MIL-STD-1553). The EFIS part should be merged with the EFIS page. --Sagremor 02:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


I am a fresh avionic software engineer and major in fms, so I am very earnest to learn lots of basic knowledge about it.Could anyone please give me a help? thanks ––Hb29m 03:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maybe I should remove "GPS is so far the most precise system to locate the airplane's position" .

Radios are taken as more precise, and are taken as the first priority in navigation(or, position location), although they are limited by some conditions like territories.

GPS is much more widerly used, and fairly precise not only in position location, but in ground speed, track and other parameter measurement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Natasha2006 (talkcontribs) 21:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] I agree that EFIS is not part of FMS.

I put it there because they have close relationship. Maybe there is a way to make it better presented. Any advice would be appreciated!
