    摘要: Systems and methods for generating an alert if a rotary wing aircraft is approaching a hazardous situation. In an example method a processor receives a wind value and a rate of descent value. An alert signal is generated if the received wind value is greater than a tailwind threshold value and the rate of descent value is greater than a rate of descent threshold value. The generated alert is outputted to an output device, such as a display device or speakers. The alert signal is further generated if the rotary wing aircraft is on approach to landing, a rate of change of heading is less than a predefined value, or a rate of change in speed is less than a predefined value.

    摘要: Systems and methods for determining if an aircraft is approaching a atmospheric pressure at field elevation (QFE) airport and for alerting if any errors that might affect the production of an accurate altitude value. In an example method a global positioning system (GPS) altitude value is compared to a corrected barometric altitude, if an airport that the aircraft is proximate to (approaching) is a QFE airport. The field elevation of the proximate airport is added to the corrected barometric altitude to generate an adjusted barometric altitude, if the comparison between the GPS altitude and the corrected barometric altitude is greater than a predefined threshold. The adjusted barometric altitude is sent to relevant aircraft systems, such as an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for detecting the type of Selective Availability (SA) engine in a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The apparatus reverse computes a User Equivalent Range Error (UERE) value and filters it. The filtered value is run through a hysteresis to determine the GPS engine type. The engine type determination is used to adjust values used by other systems.

    摘要: Systems and methods for selectively altering a ground proximity warning message. In an embodiment, a ground proximity warning system for a flight vehicle includes a processor that is configured to generate a look-ahead envelope that defines a region extending outwardly from the flight vehicle and to generate a terrain proximity message when the defined region intersects a terrain feature. An interface device is coupled to the processor that is operable to configure the system in a first operating mode wherein the generated terrain proximity message is selectively suppressed, and a second operating mode wherein the terrain proximity message is not suppressed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for monitoring Required Navigational Performance (RNP) Procedures and reducing nuisance Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System warnings including a processor, a memory with RNP instructions and data, and a communication device. The processor accesses the RNP data and instructions from the memory, and uses the communication device to obtain flight information from a Flight Management System of an aircraft. When the processor determines that the aircraft is in RNP space, the processor projects an RNP envelope and modifies a warning envelope of an EGPWS to coincide with the RNP envelope if the EGPWS warning envelope extends farther than the RNP envelope.

    摘要: A system, method, and computer program product for alerting an aircraft flight crew of an inconsistency during an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to a selected runway. The system includes a component configured to receive glideslope and localizer signals, and a component configured to determine aircraft approach angle to runway end. Also, a component configured to alert the aircraft flight crew of an approach inconsistency, if the determined aircraft approach angle to runway end is less than a threshold angular value and one or more parameters based on aircraft position and the received glideslope and localizer signals are met. The component configured to determine aircraft approach angle to runway end determines the aircraft approach angle to runway end based on aircraft geometric altitude, a vertical figure of merit, a horizontal figure of merit, runway elevation, and aircraft distance to runway threshold.

    摘要: Systems, methods and computer program products for alerting a flight crew during landing that the tailwind exceeds acceptable limits. The system determines a base tailwind threshold speed for a candidate runway based on a performance constant associated with an aircraft and candidate runway information and determines present tailwind speed. If the tailwind speed is greater than the base tailwind threshold speed, a tailwind alert is generated. Also, the system determines if the aircraft is in a tailwind alerting mode based on configuration of the aircraft and activates tailwind alerting, if it is determined that the aircraft is in the tailwind alerting mode.
