    Abstract: Avionic systems and methods are provided for forecasting and reducing the likelihood of tire overspeed events during aircraft (A/C) runway procedures, such as takeoff and landing procedures. In one embodiment, the avionic system includes a controller coupled to at least one runway procedure data source, such as pilot input interface, a flight management system, atmospheric data sensors, or a navigational database. During operation, the controller receives runway procedure data from the runway procedure data sources pertaining to a planned runway procedure for the ownship A/C. The controller utilizes the runway procedure data to project at least one maximum tire speed during the planned runway procedure (TSMAX_PROJECTED), which is then compared to a maximum speed limit of the A/C tires (TSLIMIT). If TSMAX_PROJECTED exceeds TSLIMIT, the controller generates an alert or notification indicating the probable occurrence of a tire overspeed event during the planned runway procedure.

    Abstract: A method of reducing plant emissions includes providing a MPC model for a flaring process including one-to-one models between controlled variables (CVs) including a smoke count and/or a flare count (CV1) and a noise level (CV2), and flow of assist gas as a manipulated variable (MV) and another process gas flow as a disturbance variable (DV). The MPC model receives sensed flare-related parameters during the flaring process including a measure of CV1 (CV1*) and CV2 (CV2*). Provided CV1* is above a minimum setpoint for CV1 (CV1 setpoint) and CV2* is above a setpoint for CV2 (CV2 setpoint), the flaring process is automatically controlled using the MPC model which determines an updated flow setpoint for MV from CV1* and CV2*, the CV1 and CV2 error, and the identified one-to-one models.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for displaying information on a heads up display (HUD). A background image is captured with a camera. A plurality of regions of the background image are analyzed to determine a region-wise image attribute for each of the plurality of regions. A symbology having a symbology attribute is generated and overlaid on an overlay region of the background image to generate a heads up display image. The overlay region is one of the plurality of regions of the background image. The symbology attribute is adjusted based on the region-wise image attribute of the overlay region to generate an adjusted heads up display image. The adjusted heads up display image is displayed on the HUD.

    Abstract: Aircraft systems and methods for reducing and detecting read-back and hear-back errors are provided. The method comprises obtaining contextual data about a current context of the aircraft. A dialog comprising an inbound voice and an outbound voice communication are transcribed into text using the contextual data. The text of the inbound voice communication is compared with the text of the outbound voice communication to determine if a discrepancy between the respective texts exists. A discrepancy alert is outputted if the discrepancy is determined to exist, indicating a read-back error.
