The Flight Management Computer System (FMCS) is standard equipment on all new 737 aircraft. Software and hardware updates continue to provide the latest technology to meet the changing requirements of the world's evolving airspace.

Integrating Required Navigation Performance (RNP RNAV) and Global Positioning capabilities, the FMCS incorporates advanced navigation performance capable of RNP 0.1 operations.  Improved cockpit operations take full advantage of state-of-the-art procedures. As new terminal procedures for improved safety and airspace throughput become available, the GE FMCS is ready to provide safe and efficient improvements to aircraft operations.

The advanced FMCS is available for retrofit into existing fleets enabling access to terminal procedures, airports, and airspace requiring state-of-the-art technology.   It offers improved performance with highly reliable, low power circuitry, passive cooling, extensive built-in test, and fault storage capabilities.
Accurate flight profile predictions for primary and alternate destinations are given for various performance options. This includes a required time of arrival (RTA) mode that controls the flight to arrive within six seconds at any point in flight.

A unique adaptable data link feature allows an airline to customize their ACARS communication messages.
The navigation data base can include worldwide departure, enroute, arrival and approach procedures to facilitate automated flight.
