20220139230 | AIRCRAFT CONTROL SYSTEM WITH RESIDUAL ERROR CONTAINMENT - The aircraft control systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to detect a residual error associated with a flight control computer of an aircraft and mitigate the effect(s) of such residual error in order to maintain safe operation of the aircraft. In some embodiments, the systems and methods are configured to detect an out-of-flight-envelope situation of the aircraft and determine whether or not the flight control computer is attempting to recover the aircraft from the out-of-flight-envelope situation. If the flight control computer is perceived as attempting to recover the aircraft from the out-of-flight-envelope situation, the flight control computer is permitted to continue controlling the aircraft. Otherwise, the excursion outside of the normal flight envelope is perceives as potentially having been caused by a residual error and the flight control computer is prevented from continuing to control the aircraft. | 2022-05-05 |
20220139231 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING INTERVAL MANAGEMENT OF AN AIRCRAFT - A machine-readable media including executable instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a flight management system in a following aircraft. The machine-readable media configured to provide instructions to a flight management system of a following aircraft operating according to a following aircraft planned path, in reference to a target aircraft operating according to a target aircraft planned path, receive information regarding the target aircraft, set a required time of arrival at an achieve-by-point, and engage a required time of arrival function to enable the following aircraft to reach the achieve-by-point by the required time of arrival. | 2022-05-05 |
20220139232 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTING FLIGHT DATA - A method of flight data prediction for an aircraft includes receiving, at a device, arrival input data for a flight of the aircraft to an arrival airport. The arrival input data includes flight plans for a plurality of aircraft expected to arrive at or depart from the arrival airport during an arrival time range, predicted weather information for the arrival airport during the arrival time range, and facilities data for the arrival airport. The method includes generating, at the device based on the arrival input data, one or more arrival sets for the aircraft. Each arrival set comprising a predicted gate arrival time for the aircraft at an arrival gate using a particular runway and a probability associated with the aircraft using the particular runway. The method also includes generating, at the device, an output based on at least one of the one or more arrival sets. | 2022-05-05 |
20220139233 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UPDATING A FLIGHT PLAN - A method for updating, for an aircraft, a first flight plan having a first set of flight parameters, includes receiving, via an avionics device, a change to the first flight plan, determining a second set of flight parameters based on the change to the first flight plan, receiving, by the avionics device, at least one of terrain data and special use airspace (SUA) data. The method includes performing, with the avionics device, a safety validation of the second set of flight parameters, wherein the safety validation comprises: comparing the second set of flight parameters with the received at least one of terrain data and SUA data, and determining, based on the comparison, whether the second set of flight parameters presents a risk to safe flight. | 2022-05-05 |
