Abstract: Methods and systems for providing reduced flaps takeoff or landing advice in an aircraft. The methods and systems include a display device and a processor in operable communication with the display device. The processor is configured to execute program instructions. The program instructions are configured to cause the processor to receive takeoff or landing performance data including weather data and runway conditions data for a plurality of runways at a destination aerodrome, calculate values of takeoff or landing performance parameters for a plurality of flap configurations for each of the plurality of runways, and present, on the display device, at least one of the values of takeoff or landing performance parameters.

Abstract: In some examples, a collision awareness system includes two cameras mounted on portions of a vehicle and processing circuitry configured to determine a position of an object based on an image captured by a first camera when the object is within a field of view of the first camera. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine the position of the object based on an image captured by a second camera when the object is within a field of view of the second camera. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether a distance between a future position of the vehicle and a current or future position of the object is less than a threshold level. In response to determine that the distance is less than the threshold level, the processing circuitry can generate an alert.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for alerting non-compliance with aviation standard operating procedures. In some examples, a method may include: determining an operating condition of an aircraft; based on the determined operating condition, determining one or more actions of operating the aircraft expected to be performed by an operator of the aircraft to adhere to a standard operating procedure applicable to the operating condition; determining whether the one or more actions have been performed; and upon determining that the one or more expected actions have not been performed, alerting the operator or an air traffic controller to indicate that the aircraft is not adhering to the applicable standard operating procedure.

Abstract: In some examples, a collision awareness system for a vehicle includes a camera configured to mount on a protrusion of the vehicle and capture an image and a wireless transmitter configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle. The collision awareness system includes processing circuitry configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle, receive the image from the camera, and determine a distance between a point on the vehicle and an object based on the image. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine whether the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than a threshold level. The processing circuitry is further configured to cause the wireless transmitter to transmit an alert to a receiver mounted on the vehicle in response to determining that the distance between the point on the vehicle and the object is less than the threshold level.

Abstract: Systems and methods and disclosed for alerting improper inhibition of alerts of aircraft warning systems. In some examples, a method may include: determining whether an inhibition of a safety alert of a warning system of an aircraft is activated; upon determining that the inhibition is activated, determining whether the inhibition is improper under current or upcoming operating conditions of the aircraft, the current or upcoming operating conditions including a current or projected position of the aircraft and a weather condition at the current or projected position; and upon determining that the inhibition is improper under the current or upcoming operating conditions, alerting an operator of the aircraft to deactivate the inhibition.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for transmitting a notification to modify vehicle features specific to a mission for a vehicle. For instance, a method may include obtaining feature information about the vehicle, the feature information indicating a sub-set of features the vehicle has enabled out of a full-set of features available to the vehicle; monitoring a vehicle state of the vehicle; detecting changes in the vehicle state by comparing a current vehicle state to a historical vehicle state; in response to detecting a change in the vehicle state, determining whether to transmit a notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled based on an analysis of the change in the vehicle state; and in response to determining to transmit the notification, transmitting to the vehicle the notification to modify the sub-set of the features the vehicle has enabled.
