Abstract: A computer-implemented method of obtaining an excursion report for an aircraft is disclosed. The aircraft includes one or more sensors and a vision system, and the method includes obtaining sensor data from the one or more sensors; storing and time-stamping the sensor data; operating the vision system to detect the aircraft leaving a runway or taxiway; recording a start time of an excursion period based on a time of detection of the aircraft leaving the runway or taxiway; operating the vision system to detect the aircraft returning to the runway or taxiway; recording an end time of the excursion period based on a time of detection of the aircraft returning to the runway or taxiway; and compiling an excursion report, the excursion report comprising: the start time of the excursion period, the end time of the excursion period and a subset of the sensor data which was time-stamped during the excursion period.
