Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing airport slot reservations using a shared database network. A computing device receives information of one or more open airport slots. The availability of the open airport slots is validated through the shared database network and is stored in a shared ledger of the shared database network. The open airport slots are published to one or more carriers to initiate electronic transactions of the open airport slots. The computing device receives one or more bid transactions from the air carriers for the open airport slots. Each bid transaction has associated bid information. The bid transactions are validated using predefined validation rules, and they are allotted to corresponding open airport slots based on the predefined validation rules and the bid information. The bid transactions allocated to the corresponding open airport slots are published to the shared ledger.

Abstract: A method for providing circling approach data onboard an aircraft is disclosed. For a current, circling approach of the aircraft to a destination airport, the method identifies a circling approach procedure applicable to an optimal runway, by a processor communicatively coupled to a system memory element configured to store a database of circling approach procedures and a source for temporary restrictions; determines a circling boundary to the optimal runway, based on the circling approach procedure; determines temporary circling restrictions for the aircraft, based on conflicting traffic from at least a second airport; constructs a lateral path and a vertical path to guide the aircraft to the optimal runway of the destination airport, based on the circling approach procedure, the circling boundary, and the temporary circling restrictions; and presents graphical elements and text associated with the circling approach procedure, the circling boundary, and the temporary restrictions, by a display device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that are directed to the technological problem of performing real-time trend analysis to provide real-time cockpit level event predictions. The provided systems and methods further provide real-time corrective action suggestions associated with the real-time trend analysis.
