There is no limitation of operators.
One or two flight inspectors may provide operational checks in the same time as one or many trainees may use CARNAC analysing real-time acquired data or replaying previous missions.
Flight Inspector 3
Flight Inspector 4
2 or more flight inspectors may operate simultaneously

11. CARNAC AIRCRAFT DISPLAY
Aeronautical and geographic maps
Flight pattern procedure
Aircraft path plotting
Automatic or manual zoom
CDI/EHSI/RMI

12. Real-time GPS MONITORING & MANAGEMENT
VP-DGPS status:
Position
Solution quality
Satellites data
Satellite invalidation
GPS configuration
As GPS information are more and more important, CARNAC display the full monitoring of GPS data as satellite information and solution computation information including the capability to invalidate, in real-time, any disturbing satellite.

13. REAL-TIME DUAL RECEIVERS MONITORING
Deviation between receivers computed in real-time:
Indicator for instantaneous Alarm
User’s Alarm configuration
3 deviation value colors
Automatic deviation curves of plotted parameters
Using dual receivers, CARNAC provide deviation curves between the 2 receivers and an automatic 3 colours alarm indicator:
Green colour means “bellow margin”
Orange colour means “within gauge”
Red colour means “out of limit ”
The tolerance values may be set-up by the flight inspector

14. REAL-TIME TRAJECTOGRAPHY WARNING
To compare 2 Satellite Positioning Systems
Monitoring of trajectography validity
Instantaneous warning indicator
User’s warning tolerance configuration
Used for landing or en-route navaids
FIS trajectography system compared with:
Data from differential GPS correction Services
Other satellite positioning system
Deviation between receivers computed in real-time
In the same way, CARNAC provide the capability to compare the main VP D-GPS positioning system to others GPS correction services or others satellite positioning system.
CARNAC display the deviation curves between the 2 satellite receivers including accuracy value and warning indicator with dedicated colours.
The flight inspector may set-up himself the parameters values of the warning colour’s.

15. CARNAC AUTOPILOT INTERFACE
Pilots comfort improvement with automatic approach procedures
Less tiredness
Less failed approaches
Coupled to the autopilot via ARINC 429 MLS input
Flight Plans sent to the cockpit on dedicated display
CARNAC is designed to make the pilot job easer.
We send the flight inspection flight plans to the cockpit using a dedicated display.
Flight Inspection data are sent to the autopilot from the MLS input.

16. CARNAC AUTOMATIC NAVAID LINK
Automatic flying measurement procedures
Check of successive or simultaneous navaids
Procedures configuration set-up
Automatic link of runs
Flight plans to cockpit
Real-time curves and results
Post-processing of all reports
Taking care about new procedures and requests to check simultaneously different navaids, CARNAC software allows the flight inspector to link runs automatically.
CARNAC display in real-time the curves and results of the runs.
The flight inspector may also use the post-processing, when necessary, to analyse the reports of the simultaneous checks made during the automatic flying measurement procedures.

17. CARNAC IN-FLIGHT TRAINING
Independent from operational console
During operational flight inspection
Full data available from the acquisition system to allow different and simultaneous Navaids inspection
Fittable at any seat without any modification
Flight inspection training may be done in all condition:
On-board or on the ground with the laboratory station
Independently or associated to the operational console
With one or many trainees
During operational mission or not
Using the full data from the operational acquisition unit or the full data of previous mission
Appling different or simultaneous checks from the operational flight inspection

18. CARNAC REPLICATOR Real-time air-to-ground replicating system
REPLICATOR (Ground Laptop)
))) (((
NAV1
NAV2
DME
PC-Server
GPS
On-board FIS
Real-time air-to-ground replicating system
Real-time curves plotting for instantaneous adjustments
No action required by flight inspector
Aircraft map display
All navaids supported
Avoid language misunderstanding
Maintenance team ready to do the good thing at the good time
As the dialogue between the on-board and the ground team was limited to a voice communication and as the ground team had no way to see immediately the results of his adjustments, we designed the Replicator to provide in real time on-board flight inspection information directly to the ground.
The Replicator display on the ground all the data which are available on board and locate the aircraft position during and between the runs. The ground maintenance team is able to monitor all information depending on the inspected beacon and is able to easily manage his time to be always ready to do the good thing at the good time. Avoiding any training, a significant reduction, around 15%, of the flying hours was noticed during standard flight inspection. This time saving is increased for more complex flight inspection as commissioning

19. CARNAC MULTI-ROLE VIRTUAL MACHINE Real-time multi-operating system:
CARNAC operating under Linux
Working simultaneously with others OS as Windows for others software's
CARNAC software not affected by any Virtual Machine malfunction or virus
CARNAC is available to provide flight inspection with the secure and stabilized LINUX Operating System.
CARNAC is able to use simultaneously WINDOWS or others Operating System as requested by the customers.
For example, the flight inspector may operate flight inspection and simultaneously used the ILS signal modelling tools to improve the flight check before or during commissioning

20. Detection & Localization of Jamming
Detection and localization of aeronautical interferences
Software provided by the French CAA
Radio-monitoring of the aeronautical band and NAVAID frequency ( VHF and BF spectrum ) during ferry-flights, flight inspection campaign, specific requests
Simultaneously or separately of Flight Inspection mission
Using MELBA and CARL softwares developped by the DGAC/DSNA/DTI
Data plotted on a cartographic background automatically adapted to the area crossed during the flight
CARNAC may include the Detection and localization of aeronautical interference provided by the French CAA flight inspection team.
This significant capability allows the flight inspection aircraft to detect and localize aeronautical interferences jamming simultaneously or independently of the operational flight checks.
We invite you to the Sagem booth where French flight inspectors may provide you with more information about this capability which should be more and more necessary in the future.

21. ILS Signal modelling tools
ATOLL & LAGON are designed and produced by the French Academy of Civil Aviation (ENAC)
Training for LOC and GS
Simultaneously or separately of Flight Inspection mission
Radiation Simulation
Simulation of adjustment/obstacles
Investigation of LOC & GS radiation
Reduce commissioning time
CARNAC may include the ILS signal modelling tools provided by the French Academy of Civil Aviation (ENAC).
This relevant capability allows the flight inspection aircraft to foresee LOC or GS commissioning checks simultaneously or independently of the operational flight checks.
We also invite you to the Sagem booth where ENAC representatives may provide you with demonstration of this complementary capability.
