Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for promoting stable aircraft approach conditions. The system comprises a display device that is onboard an aircraft and a controller in communication with the display device. The controller is configured to, by a processor: receive data that includes information relating to an action configured to stabilize an approach of the aircraft during landing thereof and a recommended timing of performing the action relative to a predetermined flight plan of the aircraft, and render a first visual element on the display device that is configured to display the action relative to the flight plan and dynamically indicate the recommended timing of performing the action relative to a geographic position of the aircraft along the flight plan.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for guiding or otherwise assisting energy management of an aircraft radar vectoring en route to a runway. A method involves dynamically determining an updated predicted lateral trajectory for the radar vectoring when the current aircraft status fails to satisfy a trajectory execution criterion for a previously-predicted lateral trajectory by iteratively adjusting a runway interception point defining a segment aligned with the runway until arriving at the updated predicted lateral trajectory for which a stabilization criterion for the runway can be satisfied. The method determines a target value for an energy state parameter of the aircraft at a current location on the updated predicted lateral trajectory and provides indication of a recommended action to reduce a difference between a current value for the energy state parameter and the target value.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for guiding or otherwise assisting energy management of an aircraft en route to a runway. A method to optimize managing energy of an aircraft in a landing trajectory when deploying landing gear, the system including evaluating an energy state for the aircraft for a set of flight trajectories including a lateral and a vertical trajectory for a flight path in an approach phase to a runway; identifying at least one energy state for the aircraft based on a set of formulated computations based on an altitude and speed of a vertical aircraft profile on the flight path in the approach phase; and assessing in an envelope region a landing gear extension to manage the excess energy at a prediction location in the flight path; and deploy the landing gear responsive to an assessed change in the aircraft energy state in route to the runway.
