20160063866 | AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING SPACING INFORMATION - A display system for a subject aircraft is provided. The system includes a processing unit configured to receive air traffic spacing information associated with a lead aircraft and flight information associated with the subject aircraft and to generate display signals associated with the air traffic spacing information and the flight information; and a display unit coupled to the processing unit and configured to receive the display signals from the processing unit and to render a horizontal situation indicator with spacing symbology based on the air traffic spacing information and the flight information. | 03-03-2016 |
20160083108 | COMMUNICATIONS QUALITY ANALYSIS - A system and method for analyzing a scenario, such as a communications scenario in which the end-to-end quality of communications between end nodes of a communications link may be affected by various factors and conditions. Such factors and conditions may include performance parameters of the end nodes and intermediate nodes, human operational performance, and external conditions, such as weather. Qualitative and quantitative representations of the end-to-end quality of communications are presented simultaneously and in a time-synchronized manner with displays of the relevant performance parameters, indications of human operational actions, and locations of nodes of the communications link and external conditions. | 03-24-2016 |
20160090193 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING RUNWAY APPROACH INFORMATION - A system and method are disclosed for indicating to an aircrew of an aircraft an unstable approach to a desired landing. When the energy state of the aircraft exceeds a threshold, a suggested airspeed in consideration of the energy state is displayed. Additionally, a landing spots on a displayed runway are shown indicating where the aircraft would land in view of the energy state and where the aircraft is recommended to land in view of the current aircraft type and weight. A text message may also be displayed that conveys the ability of the aircraft to land. | 03-31-2016 |
20160114901 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING SITUATION AWARENESS INFORMATION AND ALERTS IN A COCKPIT DISPLAY - Methods and system are provided for displaying information on a display device of an aircraft as well as processing crowd sourced information from other aircraft, sensors and information systems in a ground server, and provide it back to aircraft via communication means. In one embodiment, the method includes retrieving information that indicates a current situation and that has been entered by a user, the information being from at least one of a server and another aircraft; determining current situation display data based on the information; and graphically displaying the information on the display based on the current situation display data. | 04-28-2016 |
