Abstract: A system and apparatus for determining the best course of action at any particular point inflight. The system determines current aircraft configuration against an expected aircraft configuration to detect configuration errors, and then utilizes configuration errors and error trends to manage aircraft configuration and mission operation. The system may divert the aircraft to the best available landing sites or reconfigure the aircraft to resolve configuration errors. In an emergency the system may safely land the aircraft.

Abstract: A system for collection and distribution of curated tagged content includes a server or collection of servers in communication with one or more networks. The servers receive moment files generated by recording users via recording devices; each moment file is associated with a tagged object (e.g., physical or virtual) and includes associated media content. Each moment file is associated with recorder-side filtering via which a potential reader may be defined as an eligible or ineligible reader of the moment file. The server stores the received moment files to memory and receives indications of an eligible reading device near an associated tagged object and displays eligible interactive AR/VR content to a reading user having a reader-side filter indicating an interest in the content.

Abstract: Aircraft flight operations datalink for preparing an aircraft for flight, by a particular pilot (crew) for a particular flight plan via a portable computing device. The aircraft flight operations datalink includes a wireless data link; computer processor; data bus; an association with a flight sensor for collecting aircraft position, weather, traffic, terrain, aircraft systems status, aircraft flight envelope parameters, pilot (crew) status/condition; a display system; a ground-to-air data link; and a database of aircraft and pilot data; a flight plan; and flight conditions. In flight operations, the datalink may be utilized to relieve a pilot (crew) from performing tasks necessary to mitigate an emergency or reduce a flight operation urgency.

Abstract: An alternate landing site selector system and apparatus utilizing a hierarchy calculator for automatically ranking a plurality of alternate landing sites by assigning a suitability value to each of the alternate landing sites corresponding to that site's suitability for landing, wherein the assigned suitability value is based on at least distance from the aircraft, runway length, terrain, or weather conditions. The system may assist the pilot (crew) in resolving or reducing the urgency of an emergency or in executing a proposed solution to a given emergency, or may direct the aircraft autopilot in executing the suggested (and selected) solution. In either case, the system of the present invention provides the pilot with time to consider an emergency and its resolution (while the aircraft is directed toward a safe configuration or flight condition.

Abstract: An emergency detection and resolution system for alerting users of available options given a particular emergency (and set of flight conditions). The system may assist the pilot (crew) in resolving or reducing the urgency of an emergency or in executing a proposed solution to a given emergency, or may direct the aircraft autopilot in executing the suggested (and selected) solution. In either case, the system of the present invention provides the pilot with time to consider an emergency and its resolution (while the aircraft is directed toward a safe configuration or flight condition. The present invention may also ascertain the configuration of an aircraft from changes in the aircraft's position over time, or update an aircraft in preparation for a particular flight or flight condition.

Abstract: A mission monitor for planning non-scheduled flight plan operations during a flight such that a user or the system may direct the aircraft to a safe position if the pilot or aircraft cease to perform as planned. Upon user selection or a triggering event the mission monitor may select and cause the aircraft to fly a determined best course of action at any particular point inflight. The mission monitor may remotely and wirelessly receive flight, pilot, aircraft, and operator information. In some implementations mission monitor features may be distributed between individual modules. In one embodiment the system determines current aircraft configuration against an expected aircraft configuration to detect configuration errors, and then utilize configuration errors and error trends to manage aircraft configuration and mission operation. The system may divert the aircraft to the best available landing sites or reconfigure the aircraft to resolve configuration errors.

Abstract: A system and apparatus assists pilots and flight crews in determining the best course of action at any particular point inflight for any category of emergency. The system monitors a plurality of static and dynamic flight parameters including atmospheric conditions along the flight path, ground conditions and terrain, conditions aboard the aircraft, and pilot/crew data. Based on these parameters, the system may provide continually updated information to the pilot or crew about the best available landing sites or recommend solutions to aircraft configuration errors. In case of emergency, the system may provide the pilot with procedure sets associated with a hierarchy of available emergency landing sites (or execute these procedure sets via the autopilot system) depending on the specific nature of the emergency.
