Abstract: Disclosed are methods of displaying compatibility between an aircraft and a landing port, the method comprising: determining a current position of the aircraft and a gross weight of the aircraft; determining a landing port based on the current position of the aircraft; receiving a set of parameters associated with the determined landing port; determining an elevation of the determined landing port and a gross weight supported by the determined landing port at least based on the received parameters; determining whether the aircraft is compatible with the landing port at least based on the determined elevation of the determined landing port and by comparing a gross weight of the aircraft with the gross weight supported by the determined landing port; and causing display on a display device of the aircraft of an indication of the determination of whether the aircraft is compatible with the landing port.

Abstract: A system and method of transmitting an aircraft report (AIREP) from a first aircraft having an enabled aircraft autoland system includes retrieving, via a first processing system, standard AIREP data from one or more avionic systems within the first aircraft, the standard AIREP data including standard AIREP reporting information. The first processing system retrieves autoland enablement data that indicates whether the autoland system was manually or automatically enabled, and also retrieves autoland information data from the one or more avionics systems, where the autoland information data includes current aircraft state data and current flight plan data and is different from the standard AIREP data. The autoland information data is appended to the standard AIREP data to generate an AIREP-autoland message and the AIREP-autoland message is transmitted.

Abstract: A system and method to assist a non-pilot in taking corrective action includes monitoring, in a health monitoring system, a state of health of an enabled aircraft autoland system to determine if a subsystem or component of the autoland system is in a fault condition that will inhibit operation of the autoland system. When the subsystem or component of the enabled autoland system is inoperable, The health monitoring system determines if the fault condition can be corrected by the non-pilot, by comparing the fault condition to a set of fault conditions in a fault condition database. When the fault condition can be corrected by the non-pilot, a display device is commanded, via the health monitoring system, to render a three-dimensional (3D) cockpit view of instructions for correcting the fault.

Abstract: A method in an aircraft for identifying valid runway intersections for takeoff is provided. The method comprises: estimating a runway length required for takeoff based on aircraft parameters; estimating, at each of a plurality of runway intersections, a corrected runway length at the runway intersection by applying an elevation correction, a temperature correction, and a gradient correction; determining, based on the estimated runway length required for takeoff and the corrected runway length at each of the plurality of runway intersections, each valid runway intersection from the plurality of runway intersections whose corrected runway length is long enough for use by the aircraft for takeoff and each invalid runway intersection from the plurality of runway intersections whose corrected runway length is not long enough for use by the aircraft for takeoff; and signaling an aircraft display device to display on a map depicting the takeoff runway each invalid runway intersection.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for determining guidance information for a vehicle. For instance, the method may include: determining whether the vehicle requires a charging event at least based on a state of charge of a battery system of the vehicle; determining a charging location of a charging station from a plurality of charging stations based on data associated with the vehicle and/or data associated with each of the plurality of charging stations; determining a current location of the vehicle; determining information to guide the vehicle from the current location to the determined charging location and align a charging interface of the vehicle to a charging interface of the charging location; and causing display of the determined information.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) weather display systems and methods are provided. The system receives real-time 3D weather data from a 3D weather radar system along with other sensor data external or internal and stores the received data in the memory buffer. The system is configured to receive spatial and temporal weather replay requests, and responsive to a weather replay request, extracts time-stamped 3D weather data from the memory buffer to construct a weather data loop that is a function of the weather replay request. The system generates display instructions to render the weather data loop, as a simultaneously and continuously replaying overlay, on the display of the real-time 3D weather data. A display device renders the weather data loop in accordance with the instructions.

Abstract: A method is provided for displaying information on a display device of an aircraft. The method comprises determining graphics data for visual aids that represent segmented circle airport marker (SCAM) information, incorporating the graphics data into a user interface, and generating the user interface for display on the display device of the aircraft.
