Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for engaging a vertical navigational descent (VNAV/DES) mode of a flight management system (FMS) for an aircraft. The method comprises retrieving a preset vertical navigation (VNAV) profile for a descent path of the aircraft that is stored in the FMS. The current flight path angle (FPA) and vertical speed (VS) of the aircraft is determined and intercept parameters are calculated to intercept the preset VNAV profile with the VNAV/DES mode of the FMS. The intercept parameters are calculated based on the current FPA and VS and displayed to an aircrew member of the aircraft on a visual display device. The aircrew member is allowed to accept the intercept parameters with the VNAV/DES mode of the FMS.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assisting operation of a vehicle deviating from a desired manner of operation, such as an aircraft deviating from a planned trajectory. One method involves identifying a current aircraft altitude, identifying a current aircraft configuration, determining a recommended flight path from the current aircraft altitude for satisfying an upcoming constraint associated with a reference descent strategy based at least in part on the current aircraft configuration in response to a deviation between the current aircraft altitude a target altitude according to the reference descent strategy, and providing an output influenced by the recommended flight path. The recommended flight path includes a recommended vertical profile and a recommended speed profile, and the recommended flight path is configured to vary at least one of a kinetic energy or a potential energy of the aircraft along the recommended flight path en route to the upcoming constraint.

Abstract: A method in an aircraft for energy reduction is disclosed. The method includes: determining a starting point location, altitude and airspeed for a stable approach for landing at a diversion airport; and determining a vertical strategy for achieving the starting point altitude and airspeed by identifying a region of opportunity for adjusting the speed and altitude and identifying a plurality of energy reduction strategies for achieving the starting point altitude and airspeed while in the region of opportunity based on a speed mode during the stable approach. The method further comprises causing a graphic display to be displayed that lists for selection each of the plurality of identified strategies, detailed maneuver information for strategy implementation, and costs for implementing each identified strategy; and causing to be displayed, responsive to flight crew selection, a lateral view and vertical view of a proposed trajectory based on a selected identified strategy.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for guiding or otherwise assisting energy management of an aircraft radar vectoring en route to a runway. A method involves determining a predicted lateral trajectory for the radar vectoring in accordance with interception criteria, wherein the lateral trajectory comprises a sequence of segments for satisfying the interception criteria from a current location of the aircraft and each navigational segment of the sequence is associated with an anticipated aircraft heading assignment. The method determines a reference vertical trajectory corresponding to the lateral trajectory, determines a target value for an energy state parameter of the aircraft at the current location on the lateral trajectory using the reference vertical trajectory, and provides indication of a recommended action to reduce a difference between a current value for the energy state parameter and the target value.

Abstract: A method in an aircraft for the validation of variable data is provided. The method comprises: receiving a request from an application program to retrieve data attributes for at least one data item to be entered via a GUI provided by the application program; requesting, from the flight management engine using an API, the data attributes for the at least one data item, wherein the data attributes identify at least one limit for data entry for the at least one data item including a minimum and/or maximum value for the at least one data item; receiving the requested data attributes from the flight management engine; and transmitting the data attributes to the application program; wherein the application program restricts data entry for the at least one data item in conformance with each limit provided by the data attributes for the at least one data item.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be used for monitoring and identifying failure in flight management systems. For example, a method may include: calculating, using a first flight management system, a first value of a guidance command for controlling an aircraft for an RNP AP procedure; receiving a second value of the guidance command from a second flight management system; comparing the first value with the second value to determine whether the first value matches the second value; upon determining that the first value does not match the second value, using a flight management system monitor to determine, from the first flight management system and the second flight management system, a flight management system that has computed a correct value of the guidance command; and generating a message indicating that the determined flight management system is to be used to guide the aircraft.
