Abstract:
Methods and systems for low visibility surface movement guidance for an aircraft navigating an airport environment. The system includes an avionic display module on an aircraft, configured to receive ownship data and generate an avionic display on a display device, and to respond to display commands. The system also includes a low voltage (LV) conditions module, configured to: receive weather data and determine when low voltage LV conditions are occurring; and, responsive to determining that LV conditions are occurring, (i) generate display commands to reconfigure the avionic display to present the LVO plan, rendered in accordance with a preprogrammed visualization scheme for rendering LV features in the LVO plan, and (ii) calculate an optimized taxi route for the aircraft to a target airport point of interest, as a function of the LVO plan. The system generates display commands to render the optimized taxi route on the reconfigured avionic display.
