An On-line Monitoring and Flight Inspection System Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Navigation Equipment

Navigation equipment is the most important infrastructure of civil aviation, which is closely related to flight safety. In addition to regular flight inspection, navigation equipment’s patrol measuring, maintenance measuring, running measuring under special weather conditions are the important means of ensuring aviation flight safety. According to the safety maintenance requirements of Civil Aviation Air Traffic Control navigation equipment, this paper developed one on-line monitoring and flight inspection system with independent intellectual property rights based on unmanned aerial vehicle for navigation equipment, the system breakthroughs the key technologies of measuring navigation equipment on-line including ILS, VOR, DME and NDB, which also meets the requirements of navigation equipment ground measurement set by the ICAO DOC 8071, it provides technical means of the on-line measurement and flight inspection for navigation equipment, improves the safety of navigation equipment operation, and reduces the impact of measuring navigation equipment on airport operation.
