Every five seconds the FMC checks the status of all the navigation sensors and makes a selection of the optimum navigation mode available. The transition from a radio-updated navigation mode (DME/DME/IRS, or DME/VOR/IRS) to IRS dead-reckoning occurs 15 seconds after radio measurements are lost. However, this 15-second period does not include time while in the cone of silence of a tuned navigation aid. When the airplane is on the ground, the navigation mode selected is the On-Ground Navigation Mode.

On-Ground Navigation
(a) When the airplane is on the ground, the On-Ground Navigation mode is used, because signals from navigation aid stations are not reliable for position determining. On the ground, the system position and velocity states are initialized, and the navigation outputs are simply the current IRS values. Once the airplane is on the air, and the IRS and DADC are valid, other modes of navigation can be selected.
(4)
Dead-Reckoning
(a) The dead-reckoning equations for estimate of the horizontal position are processed by the FMC every 100 milliseconds. The basic inputs are latitude, longitude, and north-south and east-west velocity components from the IRS. The basic data from the IRS are refined by corrections available from the Kalman filter process.
(5)
Track Angle Calculation
(a) The track angle computation simply uses the Kalman filter-corrected values of the airplanes north-south and east-west velocity; and takes the arctangent of the velocity ratio to determine track angle.
(6)
Kalman Filtering
(a)
The navigation position accuracy depends upon the data used for the Kalman filtering process. If current radio data is available, the Kalman error correction to the basic IRS present position will be more accurate than if the radios are invalid. Depending upon the radio-augmented navigation mode selected by the system, the Kalman filter will use either two DME ranges, or one DME range and one VOR bearing. The complete Kalman filtering process is operated if either of the two radio-augmented navigation modes are available.
(b)
If the radio systems become completely invalid for use as navigation data sources, the Kalman filtering process will predict system position errors. The position errors are extrapolated by the Kalman filter from previously received radio information. However, the Kalman filter is not updated with radio information until the radios again become valid. The Kalman filtering process is operated by the FMC every five seconds. DME or VOR measurements are tested for reasonableness, first to decide if the airplane is inside or outside the navigation aids cone of silence, and then for the magnitude of the measured range or bearing error from that navigation aid.
