which is used to calculate flight paths and to monitor flight
progress.
Aircraft performance data: FMS rely on accurate performance
data for the aircraft, including weight and balance information,
engine performance characteristics, and other critical

7
parameters, to calculate flight paths and to monitor aircraft
performance during flight.
Communication systems: FMS rely on communication systems,
including VHF and SATCOM, to receive updated information
from ATC and to provide real-time updates to the crew.
Electrical power: FMS requires a reliable source of electrical
power to function, and can be impacted by power outages or
other electrical disruptions.
Maintenance and updates: FMS require regular maintenance and
software updates to ensure that they are functioning properly
