Default Flight Data Recorders

What will all these new filter technologies, you still need to sump your

Aren't both sources integrated via a fast Kalman filter? GPS errors
are rapid and errors tend to clump around an accurate position, whilst
INS errors are slow and tend to drift away from an accurate position.
Integrating the systems via a Kalman filter results in a far more
accurate and precise position.


Be interested in the technicalities, having been obliged to use a 4th order
Chebishev (sp?) filter for some DA years ago - got a URL ? (Too lazy to
look atm :-)
