Abstract
A speed determination system for an aircraft including one or more interfaces arranged to receive first speed data from a first speed measurement system and second speed data from a second speed measurement system. The first speed measurement system provides the first speed data using global positioning system data. The second speed measurement system provides the second speed data based on a second speed measurement. The speed determination system includes a processor arranged to determine whether the data received from the first speed measurement system is reliable. If global positioning data is determined to be reliable, the speed determination system determines a speed from the first speed data and determines correction values for the second speed measurement system. If global positioning data is determined to be unreliable, the speed determination system determines a speed from the second speed data and the correction values.
