Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing interactive emergency landing assistance. Receiving a pilot incapacitation indication. Receiving aircraft state data from at least one avionics system of an aircraft. Transmitting an emergency landing assistance request and the aircraft state data to the ground station. Receiving a first landing instruction based on the aircraft state data from the ground station. Determining whether a pre-defined period of time has elapsed without implementation of the first landing instruction. Generating instruction details associated with the implementation of the first landing instruction based on the determination. Receiving updated aircraft state data from the at least one avionics system following the implementation of the first landing instruction. Transmitting the updated aircraft state data to the ground station. Receiving a second landing instruction based on the updated aircraft state data from the ground station.

Abstract: A flight deck system for providing progressive taxiing guidance is provided. The flight deck system comprises a controller configured to: generate a graphical insert to overlay a small portion of an active navigation display, the graphical insert providing a progressive depiction of upcoming travel surfaces on a cleared taxi route. The graphical insert comprises a non-linear map with non-linear scaling, a current travel surface alphanumeric indicator, and a current travel surface stick character representative of a current travel surface. The controller is further configured to position, on the graphical insert, a crossing travel surface sign, a first-turn travel surface stick character, and a second-turn travel surface stick character; update the position of the crossing travel surface sign, the first-turn travel surface stick character, and/or the second-turn travel surface stick character as the aircraft travels; and cause the graphical insert to be displayed as an overlay on the active navigation display.
