Abstract: A turbulence notification system and method are described that include obtaining airflow reports generated by multiple reporting aircraft while in flight. The system and method generate normalized turbulence values based on reported turbulence levels in the airflow reports and at least one of sizes of the reporting aircraft or weights of the reporting aircraft. The system and method determine effective turbulence levels specific to a first aircraft based on the normalized turbulence values and an identifying characteristic of the first aircraft, where the effective turbulence levels predict an effect of atmospheric airflow on the first aircraft. The system and method generate a map that plots a scheduled route of the first aircraft and graphic indicia representing the effective turbulence levels that are determined. The graphic indicia are plotted at locations along vertical and horizontal axes of the map corresponding to the geographic locations of the airflow reports.

Abstract: A method for providing an automated runway occupied alert comprises receiving, from a location sensor on board an aircraft, location sensor data for the aircraft. Location data is received for target traffic. Based on the location sensor data for the aircraft, a location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the aircraft. Based on the location data for the target traffic, a location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the target traffic. The method further comprises determining that the aircraft meets one or more runway occupancy criteria, and determining that the target traffic meets the one or more runway occupancy criteria. The runway occupied alert is output based upon determining that the aircraft and the target traffic meet the one or more runway occupancy criteria.

Abstract: A system and a method include a control unit configured to monitor a first position of an ownship aircraft within an airspace, determine a projected path for the ownship aircraft within the airspace, monitor a second position of a target aircraft within an airspace, and determine a projected wake turbulence of the target aircraft within the airspace. The ownship aircraft is configured to be operated to avoid the projected wake turbulence.

Abstract: A method for providing an automated runway incursion alert comprises receiving, from a location sensor on board an aircraft, location sensor data for the aircraft. Location data is also received for target traffic. Based on the location sensor data for the aircraft, a location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the aircraft. A location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the target traffic based on the location data for the target traffic. The method further comprises determining that the aircraft meets one or more ownship alert criteria and determining that the target traffic meets one or more target traffic alert criteria. Based on determining that the aircraft meets the one or more ownship alert criteria and the target traffic meets the one or more target traffic alert criteria, a runway incursion alert is output.

Abstract: A method for providing an inbound traffic alert comprises receiving location sensor data for the aircraft. Location data is also received for target traffic. Based on the location sensor data for the aircraft, a location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the aircraft. A location, a speed, and a direction of travel are determined for the target traffic based on the location data for the target traffic. The method further comprises determining that the aircraft is on a runway, and determining that the aircraft is an ownship. The method further comprises determining that the target traffic meets one or more target traffic alert criteria. An inbound traffic alert is output based upon determining that the aircraft is on the runway, the aircraft is the ownship, and the target traffic meets the one or more target traffic alert criteria.
