摘要:
A method for locating aircraft with respect of airport runways and taxiways, generating and annunciating situational awareness advisories as a function of aircraft state parameters relative to the aircraft location determination.

Systems and methods for monitoring Required Navigational Procedures (RNP) and reducing nuisance Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) warnings including a processor 42 and a memory 40 with RNP information. The processor 42 accesses the RNP data and instructions from the memory 40- When the processor 42 determines that an aircraft 10 is in RNP space 32, the processor 42 projects an RNP envelope 32 and modifies a warning envelope 28 of an EGPWS 22 to coincide with the RNP envelope 32 if the EGPWS warning envelope 28 extends farther than the RNP envelope 32.
摘要:
Systems and methods for advising a flight crew member that an enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), for example, may continue to provide terrain alerts, cautions, warnings, or the like because an intended landing site for the aircraft is not recognized within a database of airports. An unknown airport advisory is generated and broadcast after the aircraft is in a landing configuration, when the aircraft is greater than a threshold distance from the nearest landing site in the database, but before the terrain alerts are broadcast. The pilot may actuate a "terrain inhibit" selection device after receiving the advisory. The inhibit device may deactivate or mute subsequent alerts generated by the EGPWS during that particular landing sequence.
摘要:
A system and method is provided for controlling the speed of an aircraft with a speed brake during landing. The system includes a speed brake control system and a speed brake controller coupled to the speed brake control system for arming the speed brake. An alert generator is coupled to the speed brake controller for generating an alert when the speed brake is not armed.
摘要:
Systems and methods to provide alerts when a rotorcraft is in a low airspeed condition. During takeoff or go-around, an aural alert is provided to the pilot before the aircraft slows to less than the effective translational lift speed. The aural, visual, and/or tactile alert gets the pilot's attention to manage the aircraft's airspeed before it is too late in this critical flight phase.
摘要:
Systems and methods for alerting for potential tailstrike during landing. A processing device (24) located onboard an aircraft determines whether the aircraft is in a landing operational mode. If the aircraft is determined within the landing operational mode, the processing device determines whether aircraft speed is less than a previously defined threshold speed and generates an alert signal if it is determined that the aircraft's speed is less than the previously defined threshold speed. An output device (32) located onboard the aircraft, outputs an alert based on the generated alert signal.
