Abstract: A computing device is provided comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable to query a database of aviation information extracted from one or more aviation information notices for information regarding a status of an airport. One or more query results are received indicating a status of a taxiway of the airport. The one or more query results are used to generate a map of the airport depicting the taxiway with a graphical representation that indicates the status of the taxiway.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically modeling and depicting overall emissions of the aviation industry and changes thereto when taking into account, for example, traffic growth and introduction of sustainability strategies, such as new and/or improved technologies, an increase in operational efficiency, and carbon offsets. Using the dynamic tool described herein, users can define scenarios on how to reduce emissions through the introduction of different sustainability strategies, both statically and over time, analyze the impact of those strategies on emissions, and understand the dependencies between select strategies.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for communicating information to an electronic flight bag device (EFB) comprises receiving one or more notification to airmen messages (NOTAMs) that specify conditions associated with one or more runways or taxiways of an airport. The computing system selects from among the received NOTAMs one or more NOTAMs that specify particular conditions under which corresponding runways or taxiways are or will be closed to aircraft traffic. For each selected NOTAM, the computing system generates overlay data that specifies a graphical representation indicative of the particular conditions under which the corresponding runway or taxiway is or will be closed. The computing system communicates the overlay data associated with the selected NOTAMs to the EFB. The graphical representations specified by the overlay data are configured to be overlayed on a map that depicts runways and taxiways and that is configured to be presented by the EFB.

Abstract: A method for predicting a low visibility set-up option for an airport moving map includes determining a visibility at a particular airport and predicting a low visibility set-up option for an airport moving map for the particular airport in response to the visibility being below a predetermined value. The method also includes retrieving from a data storage device the low visibility set-up option for the airport moving map in response to predicting the low visibility set-up. The method additionally includes applying the low visibility set-up option to the airport moving map for the particular airport. The method further includes presenting the airport moving map on a display including geospatial low visibility information based on the low visibility set-up option.
