  • Publication number: 20230103832
    Abstract: Systems and methods for depicting aircraft traffic. One example system includes an electronic controller coupled to a transceiver and a display for displaying a traffic interface. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the traffic interface, a map representing a travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a first graphical representation of a first aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a second graphical representation of a second aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to receive, from the transceiver, a first location of the first aircraft. The electronic controller is configured to receive, from the transceiver, a second location of the second aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20230088571
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a helideck approach path tool. One example system includes an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine a helideck identifier and retrieve, from a database storing data on a plurality of helidecks, helideck data corresponding to the helideck identifier. The helideck data includes a helideck azimuth and at least one obstacle characteristic. The electronic processor is configured to generate a graphical user interface including a helideck approach indicator object, which includes a compass ring, a graphical representation of the helideck aligned to the compass ring based on the helideck azimuth, and an obstacle indicator overlaid on the compass ring based on the at least one obstacle characteristic. The electronic processor is configured to present the graphical user interface on a display within the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20230092913
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detection and display of marine objects for an aircraft. One example system includes a transceiver configured to communicate with an Automatic Identification System (AIS) server and an electronic controller located within an aircraft. The electronic controller is configured to provide on a display an interface comprising a map representing a travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a first graphical representation of the aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to receive, via the transceiver, marine object data from the AIS server. The electronic controller is configured to periodically update, on the map, a second graphical representation of a first marine object within the travel area based on the marine object data.
