ABSTRACT:
A flight management system (FMS) for an aircraft, that includes an integrated barometric altitude and satellite altitude-based vertical navigation (VNAV) system. The integrated barometric altitude and satellite altitude-based vertical navigation system, includes an altitude blending component for providing a smooth transition from a barometric altimetry source to a satellite altimetry source; and, a satellite altitude containment component operatively connected to the altitude blending component for limiting the difference of a barometric altitude path deviation to within a desired margin of a satellite altitude path deviation.
