What AIMS Does
AIMS seamlessly integrates multiple essential flight functions into one unified system, including:
Cockpit Display System – primary flight-deck visual interface
Flight Management System (FMS) – precise navigation and flight planning
Thrust Management (Autothrottle) – optimized engine and thrust control
Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS) – real-time health monitoring
Data Communication Management (Datalink) – seamless aircraft-ground data exchange
Flight Deck Communication – advanced pilot communication tools
Central Maintenance System – predictive and corrective maintenance functions
Flight Data Acquisition System – secure collection of key operational data
By consolidating these functions, AIMS reduces hardware complexity while improving reliability and performance in every flight.
