This thesis aspires to cover the fundamentals of an aircraft control for Flight Management System (FMS). FMS, trajectory tracking and performance requirements of a flight are the focal points of the thesis. In view of this, the thesis consists of the outlined components to achieve its goal; (i) generating paths - which denotes the creation of reference paths for trajectory by complying with the avionic performance standardizations, (ii) controlling the aircraft – which propagates the control commands by using flight motion dynamics and simulate real aircraft’s motion for the FMS algorithm, (iii) lateral trajectory tracking – which aims to find and follow the different kind of paths in lateral axis such as straight line path, curved path and paths in a narrow area with a high performance, (iv) performance evaluation – focuses on the avionic standardizations that are from RNP-RNAV while controlling the aircraft, generating the path and tracking the trajectory to evaluate and increase the performance for flight safety.

Air data system calibration for military transport aircraft modernization program Özer, Hüseyin Erman; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis presents the calibration processes of the pitot-static system, which is a part of the air data system of a military transport aircraft through flight tests. Tower fly-by method is used for air data system calibration. Altitude error caused by the position of the static port on the aircraft is determined by analyzing the data collected during four sorties with different weight, flap and landing gear configurations. The same data has been used to determine the airspeed measurement error. It has be...
A Model based approach for aircraft sensor fault detection Serçekman, Ömür; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) This thesis presents a reformative approach to a model-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method that improves the capability of aircraft flight control systems and acquires low complexity and computational requirements. The main objective of the FDD techniques that are extensively applied in industrial systems is to increase the sensitivity of fault detection scheme with respect to additional noise, uncertainty or disturbances. The designed fault detection model is integrated to a civil aircraft mod...

Determining a strategy for favorable acquisition and utilization of complex technologies: flight simulation training devices (FSTD) Boztaş, Ömer; Erdil, Erkan; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2012) The thesis investigates the elements of a consistent strategy for favorable acquisition and utilization of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD), thus Full Flight Simulators (FFS) and Flight Training Devices (FTD). The primary purpose is to determine a knowledge-based strategy for the end-user, acquisition professional, aviation firms and institutions. Hence, it could be possible to shed a light for cooperative groups and main institutions of national innovation system involved in entrepreneurial and in...
