Yakovlev specialists have completed the software development of Russia’s first electronic flight manual (EFM) for the Superjet 100 aircraft. Based on the results of the inspection, Rosaviatsia has approved the main amendment to the type certificate, allowing the inclusion of a computerised section on flight characteristics in the manual. This EHR section contains algorithms for calculating takeoff and landing parameters, including maximum takeoff and landing weights of the aircraft, as well as speed, taking into account current aviation regulations, UAC said.
The developed software allows airlines – operators of Superjet 100 to perform calculations of takeoff and landing parameters faster and more efficiently than using traditional tables and manual calculations. The software provides automatic accounting of all necessary data and minimises the probability of errors. The software functionality includes a user-friendly interface that allows inputting initial information and obtaining results digitally.
‘As part of the project, the developed software was comprehensively tested for compliance with security requirements. The certification process included testing software algorithms, analysing the accuracy of calculations and verifying compliance with international aviation regulations. All stages of verification were successfully passed,’ Rosaviatsia explained.
After receiving approval of the type certificate it is planned to train airlines’ personnel to work with the new system. The flight staff will have to undergo theoretical training and practical training on simulators. In the future, it is planned to issue an update of the flight manual, including instructions on how to use the electronic section. The introduction of the EHR will significantly improve the efficiency of pre-flight training and ensure a higher level of flight safety.
‘Our development will not only save time on pre-flight calculations, but also significantly improve their accuracy. In the near future, we intend to conduct training in airlines, issue a change to the flight manual and implement the software,’ said Vladimir Lavrov, Chief Designer of the Superjet programme.
