    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing contextual building height information to one or more operators of an aircraft. For instance, the method may include obtaining aircraft flight information including a current position and a current altitude of the aircraft; and retrieving, from a database, building information for one or more buildings located in a flight path area, the flight path area including the current position of the aircraft. The method may further include assigning one or more visual characteristics to each of the one or more buildings located in the flight path area based at least in part on the building information and the current altitude of the aircraft; and displaying, to the one or more operators of the aircraft, the one or more buildings located in the flight path area with the assigned one or more visual characteristics.

    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to techniques that use a data communication system such as ADS-B to provide an output to alert an aircraft operator of an incorrect barometric pressure setting for a pressure altimeter, and provide the correct altimeter setting. For example, the system may compile the ADS-B Out data from other aircraft operating near a first aircraft to provide the barometric pressure setting in use by the other aircraft. A system of this disclosure may identify the altimeter setting used by majority of the other aircraft in a region of airspace. If a first aircraft's current barometric altimeter setting is different from the setting of the majority of the nearby aircraft, then the system may generate an output to alert the operator of the first aircraft of a potential incorrect altimeter setting as well as provide a suggested barometric altimeter setting.

    Abstract: A method for presenting weather information onboard an aircraft is provided. The method obtains a first set of weather data from aircraft onboard radar system; obtains a second set of weather data from external sources including one or more external aircraft, a satellite, a remote server, and a ground-based weather station, wherein the communication device is compatible a communication protocol for the external sources, and wherein the communication protocol comprises at least one of a datalink communication protocol, a satellite communication protocol, a very high frequency (VHF) radio communication protocol, and a transponder communication protocol; and presents graphical elements comprising a first set of graphical elements associated with the first set of weather data and a second set of graphical elements associated with the second set of weather data, wherein the second set of graphical elements include visual characteristics distinguishable from the first set of graphical elements.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying operating data for a re-chargeable battery for an electric vehicle. The system comprises a re-chargeable battery for powering components of an electrical vehicle, a sensor that detects a present level of charge in the battery and a display. The display receives the present level of charge of the battery from the monitor and displays the present level of charge in the battery, a required level of endurance for the battery that is based on a planned operational parameter for the vehicle, a minimum level of charge in the battery that meets the required level of endurance, and an amount of time needed to re-charge the battery to achieve the minimum level of charge.

    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a control unit with a weather module configured to receive weather data and to identify a wind shear zone at a location based on the weather data, the weather module further configured to generate wind shear coordinate data and wind shear characteristic data based on the weather data. The control unit further includes a display module configured to generate display commands based on the wind shear coordinate data and wind shear characteristic data from the weather module. The vehicle system further includes a display device coupled to receive the display commands from the control unit and configured to display a three-dimensional forward perspective view corresponding to a vehicle environment. The display device is further configured to display first wind shear symbology within the view at a position that indicates the location of the wind shear zone.
