  • Patent number: 10803755
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing an indication that a received vehicle operation instruction can be performed is provided. During operation of a vehicle a vehicle operation instruction is received and at least one vehicle performance parameter to perform the vehicle operation instruction is calculated. Then, a determination is made as to whether the calculated at least one vehicle performance parameter exceeds performance limitations of the vehicle. If at least one performance parameter exceeds a performance limitation, then a first alert is generated and output.

  • Patent number: 10319237
    Abstract: An airport computing system is communicatively coupled to a first airplane and to one or more second airplanes over a network system. The airport computing system comprises a plurality of sensors associated with the first airplane. The airport computing system comprises a data module configured to receive data from the first airplane over the network. The data comprises runway data sampled using the plurality of sensors while the first airplane is on a runway. The airport computing system also comprises a parameter module configured to determine one or more parameters that describe a condition for the runway based on the received runway data. The airport computing system further comprises a transmission module configured to transmit the one or more parameters to the one or more second airplanes over the network.
