    Abstract: Alerting systems and methods for an enhanced approach monitor are provided. The system is configured to: determine a missed approach altitude (MAA), an intended configuration, and target approach speed, each being related to the intended approach procedure and aircraft specific data. At a decision point defined as a co-occurrence of (a) the RT distance is substantially equal to or less than a distance threshold, and (b) the RT altitude is substantially equal to the MAA, the system identifies go-around scenarios, such as when (i) the RT speed exceeds the target approach speed, or (ii) the RT configuration is not equal to the intended configuration, or (iii) an RT approach path angle exceeds the target angle. The system issues a go-around alert based on whether the aircraft can perform a go-around operation, as determined based on aircraft performance data and terrain data.

    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 diagnostic method performed onboard an aircraft is provided. The method obtains aircraft state data during landing of the aircraft, via a plurality of avionics and aircraft systems; and determines a landing surface friction condition based on the aircraft state data, using at least one of the plurality of avionics and aircraft systems. A method of evaluating landing surface data onboard an aircraft is also provided. The method receives landing surface friction condition data, prior to landing; computes a required landing distance, based on the received landing surface friction condition data; and when the required landing distance is more than a predetermined threshold, performs a designated task.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided for controlling the speed of an aircraft with a speed brake during landing. The system includes a speed brake control system and a speed brake controller coupled to the speed brake control system for arming the speed brake. An alert generator is coupled to the speed brake controller for generating an alert when the speed brake is not armed.

    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.
