    摘要: An avionic system for a rotorcraft includes a data source and an enhanced ground proximity warning system. The data source has terrain data and obstacle data stored therein. The enhanced ground proximity warning system can be selectively switched, by a pilot, to operate in either a normal mode or a desensitized mode. The enhanced ground proximity warning system receives flight data, retrieves terrain data and obstacle data from the data source, evaluates the retrieved terrain data and the obstacle data to determine variations in elevations of terrain and obstacles in predetermined area that is a predetermined distance ahead of the current position and along the flight path, and based at least in part on the determined variations, selectively generate a prompt that suggests that the pilot switch the ground proximity warning system to the desensitized mode.

    摘要: In some examples, a terrain awareness device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a terrain feature in a travel path of the ownship vehicle. The processing circuitry is also configured to present, on a display, a first graphical user interface indicating the terrain feature. The terrain awareness device also includes a memory configured to store a location of the terrain feature, and the terrain awareness device is configured to receive traffic data from a traffic device. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a location of a second vehicle based on the traffic data and determine that the ownship first vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with a second vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a second graphical user interface indicating that the ownship vehicle has been instructed to synchronize with the second vehicle and present the second graphical user interface on the display.
