    摘要: A present novel and non-trivial system, module, and method for presenting surface symbology on an aircraft display unit are disclosed. Symbology image data representative of an image depicting a runway highlighter adjacent to the assigned runway is generated by a symbology generator based upon assigned runway information and airport surface information provided by a flight management data source and the navigation reference data source, respectively. Such runway highlighter comprises a plurality of runway edge highlighters and a plurality of chevrons pointing in the direction of the assigned runway. The image could include one or more directional runway identifiers. Additionally, the generated image could include the depiction of township location, a line-up distance docking indicator, and/or a groundspeed indicator based upon information provided by a navigation data source. Additionally, the generated image could include the depiction of a wind barb based upon information provided by a weather data source.

    摘要: Present novel and non-trivial methods for presenting traffic information are disclosed. In a first method, data representative of ownship position, first traffic, and second traffic are received by a traffic symbology generator (“TSG”). The traffic is divided into zones and a correlation between the targets of the traffic is determined. A traffic symbology data set is generated by the TSG based upon the results of the correlation(s). In a second method, data representative of ownship position and first traffic, runway references, and a selectable display range are received by the TSG. The traffic is divided into zones, and a traffic symbology data set is generated by the TSG thereafter. In a third method, data representative of ownship position and first traffic are received by the TSG. The traffic is divided into zones, and a traffic symbology data set is generated by the TSG thereafter.

    摘要: The present example a vertical profile display system with enhanced temporal depiction of navigation information. Such a display, or user interface, may advantageously display information relating to the terrain an aircraft is traveling through based on time ahead of the aircraft to a terrain feature or event, rather than distance to the feature or event. Time to a particular feature may typically be displayed with altitude of the aircraft displayed on the Y-axis. However in alternative examples other types of displays, such as three dimensional displays and the like may be substituted for a two dimensional Cartesian display.

    摘要: A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for presenting instrument approach procedure (“IAP”) advisory information to a pilot of an aircraft are disclosed. An advisory generator (“AG”) is programmed to retrieve or receive flight information representative of the current position of the aircraft, a designated airport, and at least one published IAP; weather minima data corresponding to each IAP; and one or more IAP suitability factors from a weather data source, a NOTAM data source, and/or an aircraft performance data source. The AG determines the suitability or availability of each published IAP, disables the pilot's selectability of each unsuitable or unavailable published IAP, and generates advisory data representative of information advising the pilot of the unsuitable or unavailable published IAP(s). Additionally, the AG is programmed to receive a pilot's override of an unsuitable or unavailable published IAP and enable the overridden unsuitable or unavailable IAP.

    摘要: In one aspect, the flight display system comprises a navigation map that includes a time window for a required time of arrival (RTA) waypoint. The time window has a proximal end indicating the aircraft's position at the RTA using a defined lowest speed and a distal end indicating the aircraft's position at the RTA using a defined highest speed. In another aspect, a pop-up time map displays flight plan waypoints mapped out along a time line adjacent to a plurality of time markers. The waypoint scrolls along the time line during flight. In another aspect, the flight display system includes a full format time map for displaying at least one flight plan waypoint mapped out along a time line adjacent to a plurality of time markers. In another broad aspect, a time/bearing map includes a plurality of concentric “range” rings corresponding to selected times in the future; a plurality of radially spaced bearing ticks positioned at selected locations about the concentric rings; and, a relative time ring presentable about a central axis of, and internal to, the concentric rings. The relative time ring represents a fixed increment in time. Selected waypoints are presentable at their relative bearing to the airplane and at their range (in time) from the airplane.
