Which system in the ERJ is responsible for managing flight data and aircraft systems?

The Flight Management System (FMS) is designed to manage and optimize the data related to the flight and the aircraft's various systems. It integrates information from multiple sources, such as navigation, performance, and aircraft systems, to provide the flight crew with crucial data for decision-making and operational efficiency.

The FMS calculates the aircraft's trajectory, manages navigation routes, assists with fuel management, and can even interface with the autopilot for automated flight management, ensuring that all aspects of the flight are coordinated effectively. Its role is paramount in enhancing situational awareness and reducing pilot workload by automating many of the navigation and flight planning tasks.

This comprehensive utility in managing flight data makes the FMS the central system for integrating aircraft operational data and ensuring that all systems work cohesively to support safe and efficient flight operations.
