IntegriFlight™ – CMA-5025 GPS Landing System (GLS) Control Panel

• Complies with RTCA/DO-229D and DO-253B alpha-numeric display requirements.
• Complements the CMA-5024 Aviation WAAS LPV Receiver.
• Fully independent Control Panel, does not disturb any existing avioncs.
• Small size, fits in any cockpit.

The CMA-5025 GPS is an optional Control Panel (CP) designed to complement the CMA-5024 SBAS receiver. It allows the CMA-5024 to be installed as a stand-alone system, fully independent of all avionics systems. Alternately, the CMA-5024 can be fully integrated with a FMS such as CMC Electronics’ CMA-9000 FMS.

When the CMA-5024 is installed as a stand-alone system, the CMA-5025 is required to enable the SBAS LPV or GBAS GLS approach function. In certain applications, the CMA-5025 can be installed as a fully independent back-up control panel to an integrated FMS solution.

In a manner similar to a navigation radio control panel, the CMA-5025 CP allows the flight crew to select a SBAS or GBAS final approach. The CMA-5025 provides the flight crew with all necessary data to set up any GPS approach as either a SBAS LPV or a GBAS GLS approach.

SureFlight™

• SureFlight is a GPS flight planning tool that determines if the GPS constellation can support Primary Means flight operations allowing operators to take advantage of GPS Primary Means operations.
• The FDE algorithms are identical between Sureflight and all CMC aviation GPS receivers, ensuring maximum availability of Primary Means operations.
• Sureflight is available either as a PC software package or for incorporation into Mainframe operations. Sureflight can also be provided as an OEM object-link module for incorporation into customer software.
• Sureflight has been designed to be flexible. It accommodates GPS constellation growth, NOTAM entry, various time formats, and baro-altimeter aiding.

SureFlight is a software that evaluates planned flights against GPS Primary Means Operations criteria as specified in FAA N8110.60. The evaluation is automatic and Sureflight provides various reports from a simple go/no-go answer to detailed GPS outage reports for the desired flight plan.

The core of Sureflight is the propreitary FDE algorithm that CMC Electronics has developed for all its aviation GPS receivers. This FDE algorithm complies with DO-208 and DO-229C requirements. Since exactly the same FDE algorithm is used in the flight planning software as in the airborne software, Primary Means availability is maximize. Using another flight planning software can result in loss of Primary Means availability or a potential situation wherein the predicted Primary Means availability is not available in-flight. CMC recommends that the CMC Sureflight software be used only in conjunction with CMC aviation GPS receivers.

Sureflight software is available in versions: PC based software, mainframe software (requires customization), and as an OEM object-linkable software.
