INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF NAVIGATION MAINTANANCE OF AERIAL GEOPHYSICS
New features of navigation complex RouteNav created with the authors’ collaboration are considered. The feature of partly-done routes allows optimizing survey of routes and fulfill them by parts with returns if it is necessary. The feature of direction-control excludes the problems with the flight direction changes to wrong during the route tracing. Also the flight-project utilities are improved with new special features, such as automatic generation of calibration routes (for compensation of magnetometer deviations) and cloning of compound routes allows, which is to increase automation level of flight planning. Implementation of these features is considered in the article. The provided capabilities of RouteNav can be considered as a competitive advantage over the devices and complexes used for similar purpose in aerial geophysics. Increasing efficiency of navigation is reached because of user-friendly interface, which allows the pilot to trace the routes by oneself, and also because of flight optimization and control capabilities and flight-planning features.
