Abstract: A system is disclosed, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of image capture devices, a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of image capture devices, wherein the controller includes one or more processors configured to receive a plurality of reference images including one or more source objects, identify the one or more source objects, determine one or more gestures indicative of one or more control signals of the one or more source objects, determine the one or more control signals; and provide the one or more control signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating sensors in an aircraft are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a processor associated with a sensor, a first request to test a transmitter function of the sensor, transmitting a test message to one or more other sensors associated with the aircraft, and listening to a transmitter associated with each of the one or more other sensors to determine a transmitter status of the sensor, wherein the transmitter status of the sensor is a pass status based on receiving a confirmation from at least one of the one or more other sensors. Aspects also include transmitting air data parameters and health status parameters associated with the air data probe to the one or more other air data probes.

Abstract: A method of detecting blockage of a pitot tube includes measuring a pitot tube temperature via one or more temperature sensors located inside a pitot tube, measuring an outside ambient air temperature, comparing the measured pitot tube temperature to a minimum pitot tube temperature threshold for the measured outside ambient air temperature, and determining the pitot tube has a blockage condition when the measured pitot tube temperature is below the minimum pitot tube temperature threshold.

Abstract: A method for generating a flight display in an aircraft includes the steps of receiving an indication of an arrival or a departure procedure for the aircraft to follow, receiving an indication of a current position and altitude of the aircraft, and receiving a voice communication or information by digital data link regarding the arrival or departure procedure. The method further includes the steps of recognizing speech in the voice communication and transforming the speech to a restriction regarding the arrival or departure procedure and providing a flight display comprising a visual depiction of the arrival or departure procedure, the current position and altitude of the aircraft, and the restriction regarding the arrival or departure procedure.
