PATH GUIDANCE SYSTEMS FOR A PARACHUTE/PARAGLIDER AND FLIGHT PATH PLANNING DEVICES FOR PLANNING THE USE OF AT LEAST ONE PARACHUTE OR PARAGLIDER, AND SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SAID PATH GUIDANCE AND PLANNING

摘要

The invention relates to a flight path planning device for determining path standards for at least one parachute or paraglider (5), which determines an altitude/time corridor (20, 30) as the flying range to be used by the parachute or paraglider (5), or an altitude/time line (28) as a desired standard. The limits thereof are constituted of altitude/time lines (22, 24; 31, 32) and are produced on the basis of a reference point determined by an altitude and a time coordinate. The course of the altitude/time lines is calculated from the integral of a defined sink rate (v)/time, different sink rates being associated with the altitude/time lines. The invention further relates to a path guidance system for determining control standards for controlling the parachute or paraglider.
