    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for a Secondary Runway Aiming Point (SRAP) procedure of an approach by an ownship that includes identifying at least one aircraft making an approach that satisfy a set of preconditions to pair the aircraft to the ownship in the SRAP procedure; calculating a set of results based on lateral and vertical deviations of a paired SRAP aircraft to the ownship, and differential lateral and vertical rates of the paired SRAP aircraft to the ownship; deriving one or more points from the calculated set of results to determine whether in a flight path of the ownship there is an occurrence of an intrusion into a wake of the paired SRAP aircraft during the approach, and generating graphic data to present on the cockpit display the occurrence of the intrusion in the wake of the flight path of the ownship to the paired SRAP aircraft.

    Abstract: A system and method to automatically control aerodrome lighting from an aircraft includes selectively retrieving, via a processor, aerodrome lighting data associated with an individual aerodrome from an aerodrome lighting data source. Images are captured, using a camera having a field of view and being mounted on the aircraft, of aerodrome lighting within the camera's field of view. Image data representative of an intensity of light transmitted from the aerodrome lighting within the camera's field of view are supplied from the camera to the processor. The aerodrome lighting data and image data are processed in the processor and, in response to processing the aerodrome lighting data and the image data, commands are selectively supplied, via the processor, to a communication radio that cause the communication radio to transmit RF signals consistent with the light control characteristics associated with the individual aerodrome and based on image data supplied from the camera.

    Abstract: A flight deck system is configured to: receive a data model populated with flight data obtained while performing a core avionics function; receive configuration information from an external source that identifies a specific plurality of flight data items to extract from the data model; extract from the data model data values for the specific plurality of flight data items identified in the configuration information; generate an optical code that encodes the extracted data values; generate an HMI display that provides a selectable link for causing the optical code to be displayed in the aircraft; cause the HMI display to be display on an aircraft display; and cause the optical code to be displayed on an aircraft display responsive to selection of the selectable link; wherein the optical code provides encoded data values corresponding to the specific plurality of flight data items for decoding and display by a mobile device.
