Abstract:
Systems and methods for automatically switching to a track view mode on a vertical view display. The system determines aircraft position relative to a leg of a flight plan and switches display mode for a navigation vertical display to track view mode, if the display mode is in a plan view mode and if the determined relative position is greater than a threshold distance.
Abstract:
A device, method and computer program product for locating aircraft with respect to airport runways and taxiways, determining if a conflict exists between an aircraft having operating the invention and another aircraft, and generating and annunciating conflict awareness advisories as a function of determining that a conflict exists.
Abstract:
A method for locating aircraft with respect to airport runways and taxiways, generating and annunciating situational awareness advisories as a function of aircraft state parameters relative to the aircraft location determination.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for predicting which one of at least two candidate runways on which an aircraft is most likely to land includes a database. The database (24) is configured to contain at least two runway data. The runway data includes an empirical glide slope angle and a location associated with each candidate runway. A position sensor (16) is configured to determine a position of the aircraft. A processor (12) is configured to retrieve the glide slope angle and location data associated with each of the at least two candidate runways. The processor calculates an aircraft glide slope angle relative to each of the at least two candidate runways based upon the position of the aircraft, and derives a first likelihood of landing value for each of the at least twocandidate runways based upon the empirical glide slope angle and the aircraft glide slope
