Abstract: A system and method may monitor the biometric data of an operator in real time or near real time. Low cost electronic devices may monitor operator vital signs and biometric data allowing the system to determine stress levels, hydration levels, possible illness, body or blood chemical levels, incapacitation risks, and other biometric parameters of the operator, and proactively notify the operator, others aboard the vehicle, the vehicle control systems, or ground control to take responsive action. Industrial electronics may enable the system to monitor ambient workspace temperature, pressure, oxygen levels, and other environmental parameters, offering the system an additional second source of information to detect and address factors affecting the capacity of the operator. The system may further compare biometric and ambient parameters to archived operator, ambient, location, route, or vehicle performance data to determine and respond to long-term data patterns.

Abstract: A system may include a display and a processor communicatively coupled to the display. The processor may be configured to: output, to the display, a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft while the aircraft is performing taxi operations, while the aircraft is on ground, and when the aircraft is not in a predetermined exclusion zone, the predetermined exclusion zone including portions of a runway where the aircraft is able to begin taking off; and output, to the at least one display, an SVS flight mode egocentric view from the aircraft when the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone. The display may be configured to display the SVS taxi mode exocentric view until the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone and display the SVS flight mode egocentric view when the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone.

Abstract: Systems and methods for symbolically representing text-based obstacle data on an electronic map are disclosed. In embodiments, a system includes a receiver in communication with a remote server. The receiver is configured to receive one or more textual communications from the remote server. The system further includes an aircraft display system with a display and a controller. The controller is in communication with the display, the receiver, and a memory. The controller is configured to generate an electronic map at the display based on map data retrieved from the memory, wherein the map data includes geographic information and predetermined obstacle information. The controller is further configured to receive the one or more textual communications from the receiver and update the electronic map to include one or more symbolic representations based on obstacle data derived from the one or more textual communications.

Abstract: A system and method may monitor an operator of a vehicle for signs of incapacity. Low cost electronic devices may monitor operator vital signs allowing the system to determine when the operator is active and normally operating the vehicle, operating the vehicle under a high workload, and/or has become inactive (potentially incapacitated). Industrial electronics may enable to system to monitor ambient workspace temperature, pressure, and oxygen levels and may offer the system an additional second source of information to detect ambient factors affecting the capacity of the operator. Should operator capacity be in question, the system may warn the operator and take an appropriate safety based action including application of a control and eventually assuming control of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing decision support guidance are provided. A method includes receiving airport information that includes a location of each airport of a plurality of airports. The method further includes determining a flight range of an ownship based on a location of the ownship and an amount of fuel remaining in the ownship, and determining if any airport of the plurality of airports is within the flight range of the ownship. The method further includes, for each airport within the flight range: determining an amount of time the ownship can maintain a current flight course before the airport is no longer within the flight range; and providing display data. The display data indicates the amount of time the ownship can maintain the current flight course before the airport is no longer within the flight range.

Abstract: An aircraft-based stall prediction and recovery system may be embodied in a flight control system connected to aural/visual annunciators and flight controls (e.g., throttles and control surfaces). Based on received environmental data, the stall prediction and recovery system may detect imminent upset conditions (e.g., underspeed or overspeed) based on minimum and maximum operating speeds for the current airframe, altitude, and atmospheric conditions. The stall prediction and recovery system may notify the crew of the imminent upset and advise corrective measures. If a stall warning is received, the stall prediction and recovery system may engage an auto-recovery mode, notifying the crew of the engagement and restoring the aircraft to a safe target airspeed via automated recovery procedures, e.g., correcting the aircraft angle of attack and/or attitude. Upon resolution of the stall, the stall prediction and recovery system may disengage the auto-recovery mode, notifying the crew via the annunciators.

Abstract: A system may include a display and a processor. The processor may: output a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft while the aircraft is performing taxi operations and when the aircraft is not in a predetermined exclusion zone, the predetermined exclusion zone including portions of a runway where the aircraft is able to begin taking off, wherein a width of the predetermined exclusion zone is based at least in part on at least one of a width of the runway or a classification of the runway; and output an SVS flight mode egocentric view from the aircraft when the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone. The display may display the SVS taxi mode exocentric view until the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone and display the SVS flight mode egocentric view when the aircraft is in the predetermined exclusion zone.
