Abstract: Systems and methods for contextual alerts during ground operations are provided. The system generates unique alerts for each type of hot-spot and commands a display system to render an image of the route, the relevant signage features, and the hot-spots. The system receives an assigned runway and references an airport features database to construct a route and travel direction for the aircraft. The system analyzes the signage features associated with the route and identifies the relevant signage features. The system processes the route with external inputs, such as notices to airmen (NOTAM), traffic data, and novel rules and data tables, from which the system identifies various kinds of hot-spots. The hot-spots include those that are aerodrome design based, those that are traffic related, and those that are temporal, based on short term closures or operational scenarios.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of operating a system in a test mode. When the test mode is an ATPG test mode, the method includes beginning stuck-at testing by setting a scan control signal to a logic one, setting a transition mode signal to a logic 0, and initializing FIFO buffer for ATPG test mode. The FIFO buffer is initialized for ATPG test mode by setting a scan reset signal to a logic 0 to place a write data register and a read data register associated with the FIFO buffer into a reset state, enabling latches of the FIFO buffer using an external enable signal, removing the external enable signal to cause the latches to latch, and setting the scan reset signal to a logic 1 to release the write data register and the read data register from the reset state, while not clocking the write data register.
