Abstract: Usually long-range jet planes use on-board general purpose computers in ground-independent navigational systems. But the price of this computers turns out to be very high to use in small planes (i.e. for sport, mailing, and so on). In this report the possibility of using Digital Differential Analyzer for solving this problems is being discussed. We can expect that the cost of DDA will be at least ten times less then that one of modern on board computers. So it is interesting to evaluate the speed and accuracy of DDA solution of navigational problems.
