摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for using airport information based on the flying environment. In one embodiment, a method of using airport information based on the flying environment includes determining height, ground speed, and if a helicopter is taking off based on determined height, determined ground speed, a takeoff height value and a takeoff speed value. In one embodiment, the helicopter is determined to be taking off when the determined height is less than the takeoff height value and when the determined ground speed is less than the takeoff speed value.

Using signals available into an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), approach monitor systems and methods compare approach speed, approach angle and amount of tailwind/crosswind to the pre-selected envelopes. When the aircraft approach speed, approach angle, or tailwind/crosswind is greater than the pre-defined envelope, the approach monitor system generates an aural/visual advisory indicating the violation. The envelope is set as a function of “height above runway elevation”.

A method and system for locating aircraft with respect to airport runways selecting as a function of aircraft state parameters one of a plurality of candidate runways that the aircraft on which it is installed is most likely to encounter, whether taxiing, preparing for take-off, or approaching to land.

Systems and methods for alerting for potential tailstrike during landing. A processing device located onboard an aircraft determines whether the aircraft is in a landing operational mode. If the aircraft is determined within the landing operational mode, the processing device determines whether aircraft speed is less than a previously defined threshold speed and generates an alert signal if it is determined that the aircraft's speed is less than the previously defined threshold speed. An output device located onboard the aircraft, outputs an alert based on the generated alert signal.

A flap advisory system provides an advisory to a pilot informing that a speed of the aircraft should be attended to because of a current or desired flap setting. More specifically, the flap advisory system compares a measured airspeed of the aircraft either directly to a flap placard speed or to a marginal speed range set below the flap placard speed for a given flap setting. If the measured airspeed is determined to be excessive then the system provides an advisory indicating the airspeed is too fast. Further, the system may provide an advisory when a movement of a flap handle is detected such that continued movement of the flap handle would place the flaps in a setting that is inappropriate for the measured airspeed.

Systems and methods for improving sink rate alerting for rotary wing aircraft. In one example, the system includes a radio altimeter that produces an altitude value, a processor that is in signal communication with the user interface device and the radio altimeter. The processor receives an altitude value, a position value for the aircraft and landing zone (LZ) information. The processor determines if the aircraft is on an approach to land at an LZ that is raised above surrounding terrain based on the received position value and LZ information. The processor receives sink rate information for the aircraft and generates a sink rate alert based on the received sink rate information and the aircraft altitude value if the sink rate information is greater than a sink rate value adjusted according to the LZ information. An output device outputs the generated sink rate alert. The LZ information includes an altitude value.
