Patent number: 9257050Abstract: An onboard monitor that ensures the accuracy of data representing the calculated position of an airplane during final approach to a runway. This airplane position assurance monitor is a software function that uses dissimilar sources of airplane position and runway data to ensure the accuracy of the respective data from those dissimilar sources. ILS data and GPS or GPS/Baro data are the dissimilar sources of airplane position data used by this function. This function will calculate the airplane's angular deviations from the runway centerline and from the glide slope with onboard equipment and then compare those angular deviations to the ILS angular deviation information.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Steven L. Fleiger-Holmes, Timothy Allen Murphy, Jean Marie Crane

Patent number: 9082301Abstract: A system and method for determining a predicted stopping performance of an aircraft moving on a runway. A predicted stopping force acting on the aircraft to stop the aircraft is determined by a processor unit as the aircraft is moving on the runway. A predicted deceleration of the aircraft moving on the runway is determined by the processor unit using the predicted stopping force acting on the aircraft to stop the aircraft. The predicted stopping performance of the aircraft on the runway is determined by the processor unit using the predicted deceleration of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Michael Gian Catalfamo, Jean Marie Crane, Marisa R. Jenkins, John David Anderson, Thomas Todd Griffith, Bechara J. Mallouk

Patent number: 8786467Abstract: A method and a system for displaying an airport or runway moving map with traffic information on a display screen in the cockpit or flight deck of an aircraft. Symbology representing surface and near-surface aircraft and surface vehicle traffic and associated traffic data are filtered to prevent or limit clutter on the display screen. Traffic symbology is automatically and manually filtered to display only relevant traffic. Traffic data is selectively displayed and displayed as/when relevant or needed. The displayed traffic information may be derived from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, traffic information system-broadcast, automatic dependent surveillance-rebroadcast, traffic collision avoidance system or other source.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Samuel T. Clark, Roglenda R. Bowe, Stephen Bernard Ortman, Jean Marie Crane
