ABSTRACT:
Control apparatus for an aircraft area navigation system computes a predetermined curved path from the inbound course to the outbound course of a waypoint or the inbound course to the next waypoint and provides aircraft steering signals with regard to the predetermined curved path. A bank angle bias command is applied to the apparatus for effecting transition from the inbound course to the curved path and is removed when the aircraft transitions from the curved path to the outbound course. Cross track and track angle error signals are generated with regard to the predetermined curved path for steering the aircraft thereon as the course transition is effected.
