    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for using airport information based on the flying environment are provided. When a helicopter is determined to be approaching a runway, ground proximity warning envelopes are automatically reduced to prevent unwanted, or nuisance, terrain alerts. On the other hand, when a helicopter is flown near a runway without intent to land or when a helicopter is taking off, ground proximity warning envelopes may remain unchanged. As a result, nuisance alerts are reduced when a helicopter is approaching a runway for landing and ground proximity warnings may remain in effect to maximize protection when a helicopter is flying near a runway without an intent to land or is taking off from a runway.

    摘要: The present invention provides several apparatus and methods for generating a terrain clearance floor envelope for use in a ground proximity warning system. The present invention includes a processor that defines a terrain clearance floor envelope (10) having at least two boundaries (14, 22). In one embodiment, the processor defines at least one of the boundaries (14, 22) based on a runway (12) position quality factor and an aircraft position quality factor. In another embodiment, the processor define the terrain clearance floor envelope (10) to be asymmetrical, such that respective profiles of the envelope (10) in a radial cross-section are different in at least two radial directions from a center point of the selected runway (12). The processor can define end regions of the terrain clearance floor envelope (10) adjacent to the ends of the selected runway (12) to have a different slope profile than side regions of the terrain clearance floor envelope (10) adjacent to the sides of the selected runway (12).

    摘要: The present invention provides several apparatus, methods, and computer program products for determining a look ahead distance value for use in a ground proximity warning system. The apparatus, methods, and computer program products generate a candidate look ahead distance value that provides a constant reaction time for varying aircraft speeds. A processor generates the constant reaction time look ahead distance by multiplying a desired reaction time by the speed of the aircraft. This distance is compared by the processor to other candidate look ahead distance values that have variable reaction times for varying aircraft speeds. If the aircraft is traveling at a relatively high speed, the processor selects the constant reaction time look ahead distance value for use in the ground proximity warning system. The present invention can provide a look ahead distance value that reduces nuisance alarms for lower speeds, while also providing at least a minimum reaction time for higher speeds.
