Assessment of Flight Quality Degradation Due to Avionics Failures
(National Aviation University, 2024-06-18) Hryshchenko, Marharyta Vitalyivna; Герасимчк, Марія Віталівна
Avionics systems are the backbone of modern aircraft, encompassing a wide array of electronic systems used for communication, navigation, monitoring, and managing multiple on-board systems. The failure of any component within the avionics suite can significantly compromise flight safety. For instance, the loss of navigation systems such as GPS or inertial navigation systems (INS) can lead to spatial disorientation, particularly in poor visibility conditions. Similarly, failures in communication systems can hinder the pilot's ability to communicate with air traffic control, increasing the risk of mid-air collisions or miscommunication during critical flight phases such as takeoff and landing. Moreover, the degradation of automatic flight control systems (AFCS), which includes autopilot and flight director systems, can place an enormous workload on the flight crew. This not only increases the likelihood of human error but also affects the pilot’s ability to handle other concurrent failures or emergencies. Therefore, assessing the impact of avionics failures on flight quality is paramount to ensuring that contingency procedures and redundancy mechanisms are robust enough to mitigate these risks.
