Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
actually burjuin what they do is that they couple the auto-pilot into the navigational system and with electric servos that make changes in flight control and airspeed from data received from Doppler NAV. pilot can also sets heading, speed, altitude while monitoring the Doppler however when close to the ground the pilot normally turns off the auto-pilot and hand flys the aircraft watching the Doppler radar altimeter readings on the instrument panel until he gets a visual outside. There is no moving map display or surrounding terrain elevation information for the pilot other than charts he brought with him.
Doppler systems, even very old, are reliable and does not require updating.
