I kno what they do but what does it stand for and do all planes have it? ???
Thnaks for the help again! ::)
FMS = Flight Management System
Not all planes have them.... well... in a sense all planes do because the pilot is the ultimate FMS... but in the computerized sense, no. It's getting more and more common in GA aircraft, but it's still a high ticket $$$ item comparatively, and you can get close to all the features of a full FMS with something like the G-1000 cockpit.

The new glass cockpits are a lot more user friendly than an FMS, too. I had to take a Long Range Nav class, and it included an FMS lab. It was pretty pointless and no fun. :(

FMS is the flight integrated version of the gps system. If you can spell it I can find It.
