Abstract: A system and method for passively detecting aircraft wingtip strikes includes generating a digital base map represented by a plurality of aerodrome cells. A numeric value is assigned to each of the aerodrome cells that is representative of the specific wingtip strike threat associated with that aerodrome cell. An index count array is generated that has a separate entry for each numeric value. A digital aircraft structure is generated that is representative of an aircraft, and is represented by a plurality of aircraft cells. A portion of the aerodrome cells are replaced with the plurality of aircraft cells. Each numeric value of the aerodrome cells that are replaced is counted to determine a replacement count associated therewith and that is entered into the separate entry in the index count array for that numeric value. One or more potential aircraft wingtip strikes are detected based on the replacement counts.

Abstract: A system and method provide an alert to a pilot of an aircraft aurally with a given volume and inflection, and/or visually with a text message which includes color, font, and pitch (size). The alert is rendered in distinct fashion for the expected and unexpected cases, e.g., an intended runway and an unintended runway. In a preferred embodiment, the alert for the intended runway is changed to a confirmation level, or one that is less likely to interfere with other information flow, while the alert for the unintended runway would be provided in a more conspicuous manner.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating a runway landing alert for an aircraft. The method comprises establishing a Runway Awareness Advisory System (RAAS) envelope for the designated target runway of the aircraft. A track of the aircraft is monitored with reference to a centerline of the target runway. Any deviation by the aircraft from the centerline of the target runway is detected and determined if it is within a margin of error. If the deviation is within the margin of error, an altitude parameter of the RAAS envelope is increased. If the aircraft is determined to still be maneuvering with respect to the centerline of the target runway, the altitude parameter of the RAAS envelope is decreased. Otherwise, an alert is generated if the aircraft is outside of the RAAS envelope.

Abstract: A system and method of shifting a premature descent protection envelope for an aircraft has been developed. First, a premature descent protection envelope (PDP) is determined including a first boundary at a first distance from the runway. Next, a nominal approach path is determined for approaching the runway and an approach path angle. Also, a flight path angle of the aircraft is determined. The first boundary is shifted in an upward direction from the runway in response to the aircraft being below the nominal approach path, and the flight path angle being greater than the nominal approach path angle.

Abstract: A method of predicting a parameter for an aircraft includes detecting an actual approach profile of the aircraft. The actual approach profile includes an actual approach angle. The method also includes comparing, by a processor, the actual approach profile to a predetermined approach profile to determine a difference between the actual and predetermined approach profiles. The predetermined approach profile includes a predetermined approach angle. The method further includes determining, by the processor, an effective approach angle by combining the actual approach angle and the predetermined approach angle according to a factor that varies based on the difference between the actual and predetermined approach profiles. Moreover, the method includes determining, by the processor, the predicted parameter based on the effective approach angle.

Abstract: A method for managing a premature descent envelope during descent of an aircraft is provided. The method receives glideslope deviation data by an instrument landing system (ILS) onboard the aircraft; compares, by the ILS, the glideslope deviation data to an acceptable band of glideslope deviation values; and when the glideslope deviation data is within the acceptable band, expands, by a terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS), the premature descent envelope to produce an increased premature descent envelope for the aircraft.

Abstract: A system and method for alerting a helicopter pilot to an undesirable operating condition during landing operations are provided. Avionics data are supplied from an avionics data source. A controller coupled to receive at least a portion of the avionics data from the avionics data source is configured, upon receipt of the avionics data, to determine when the undesirable operating condition exists and, upon determining that the undesirable operating condition exists, to generate an alert signal that provides notification to the helicopter pilot to increase helicopter airspeed.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for alerting of remaining runway based on deceleration, following, for example, a landing or discontinued takeoff. An advisory system compares the current aircraft deceleration value to a predetermined threshold value when proceeding down the runway. If the current aircraft deceleration is less than the threshold value, the runway distance remaining callouts are triggered.

Abstract: A system and method monitor aircraft state parameters, for example, aircraft movement and flight parameters, applies those inputs to a spatial disorientation model, and makes a prediction of when pilot may become spatially disoriented. Once the system predicts a potentially disoriented pilot, the sensitivity for alerting the pilot to conditions exceeding a threshold can be increased and allow for an earlier alert to mitigate the possibility of an incorrect control input.
