The OANS helps to reduce errors in surface navigation and prevent runway incursions.
OANS offers pilots an overview map of the airport apron and taxiways, as well as showing the aircraft’s position on that map. The A380’s cockpit, which shares similar ergonomics to the flight deck designs of Airbus other fly-by-wire aircraft families, offers advanced technological features including large interactive displays, an advanced flight management system and improved navigation.Īs an example, the On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS), developed in association with Thales for the A380, is now deployed on other Airbus types (A320neo, A330neo and A350).
