    Abstract: A method in an aircraft for identifying valid runway intersections for takeoff is provided. The method comprises: estimating a runway length required for takeoff based on aircraft parameters; estimating, at each of a plurality of runway intersections, a corrected runway length at the runway intersection by applying an elevation correction, a temperature correction, and a gradient correction; determining, based on the estimated runway length required for takeoff and the corrected runway length at each of the plurality of runway intersections, each valid runway intersection from the plurality of runway intersections whose corrected runway length is long enough for use by the aircraft for takeoff and each invalid runway intersection from the plurality of runway intersections whose corrected runway length is not long enough for use by the aircraft for takeoff; and signaling an aircraft display device to display on a map depicting the takeoff runway each invalid runway intersection.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for determining guidance information for a vehicle. For instance, the method may include: determining whether the vehicle requires a charging event at least based on a state of charge of a battery system of the vehicle; determining a charging location of a charging station from a plurality of charging stations based on data associated with the vehicle and/or data associated with each of the plurality of charging stations; determining a current location of the vehicle; determining information to guide the vehicle from the current location to the determined charging location and align a charging interface of the vehicle to a charging interface of the charging location; and causing display of the determined information.

    Abstract: A system and method to assist a non-pilot in taking corrective action includes monitoring, in a health monitoring system, a state of health of an enabled aircraft autoland system to determine if a subsystem or component of the autoland system is in a fault condition that will inhibit operation of the autoland system. When the subsystem or component of the enabled autoland system is inoperable, The health monitoring system determines if the fault condition can be corrected by the non-pilot, by comparing the fault condition to a set of fault conditions in a fault condition database. When the fault condition can be corrected by the non-pilot, a display device is commanded, via the health monitoring system, to render a three-dimensional (3D) cockpit view of instructions for correcting the fault.
