The self-paced Universal UNS-1 FMS Fundamentals course is designed to improve the FMS learning experience prior to attending an initial training program. This course uses a hands-on approach to understanding and programming the UNS-1 Series Universal Flight Management System that allows for introductory programming interaction.

There are three phases to each module, namely “Learn”, “Practice” and “Demonstrate”. “Learn” allows the student to go through the specific task for the first time, and gain an understanding of its use. “Practice” allows the student to perform the tasks on their own, at which time the system will offer feedback as to whether or not the steps are being followed correctly. “Demonstrate mode” presents the student with the same task that would be completed successfully before proceeding.

The course takes eight to ten hours to complete.
