Abstract

A monitoring device includes one or more devices for implementing monitoring, in order to check whether two flight management systems are able to operate in dual mode during operations requiring navigation and guidance performance. For example, a change condition verification device may be included in a second or slave flight management system so that sequencing requests and resynchronization requests received from a first or master flight management system are verified for accuracy before implementation. The verification may include comparison of positional data used by the first and second flight management systems or a comparison of a resynchronized flight plan to information from a navigation data database.
