US Classification:
340970, 340961, 340968, 342 26, 701 14
Abstract:
A display system having a display screen for graphical display of data, a graphics processor for receiving data from at least a terrain data base and data from a weather radar and for converting the received data into a single data stream to provide an input data stream to the display screen. The single display displays the weather data on one portion of the display screen and displays the terrain data on a second portion of the display screen. The weather data is displayed as a two-dimensional graphic and the terrain data is displayed as a three-dimensional graphic, thus providing a user with the necessary flight information while keeping processing resources to a reasonable level. The terrain data is displayed as an out the window display graphic, and the weather data and the terrain data displays are scaled such that the displays are dimensionally juxtaposed to allow rapid recognition of the data by a user of the display system.

Abstract:
A flight control system and method for controlling a circle-to-land (âCTLâ) maneuver utilizes an airborne area navigator. The area navigator receives inputs on aircraft category, aircraft position and speed, airport navigation data and pilot supplied data. In response to this data, the area navigator calculates the necessary conditions for executing the CTL maneuver and outputs control commands to a flight director. The pilot then executes the CTL maneuver either manually using the information provided by the area navigator or by using the aircraft autopilot under the direction of the flight director.

Abstract:
A display system is provided that renders a horizontal situation indicator that includes required navigation performance (RNP) and estimated position uncertainty (EPU) values rendered non-numerically and in a fairly intuitive manner. A processor receives at least data representative of a desired course of the aircraft, data representative of the RNP for the aircraft, and data representative of the EPU for the aircraft. The processor renders, on a display device, a horizontal situation indicator that includes an aircraft symbol representative of a top-down view of the aircraft, an RNP boundary graphic representative of at least one RNP boundary for the aircraft, and an EPU graphic representative of the EPU for the aircraft. The aircraft symbol is rendered at a position that is representative of actual aircraft position relative to the desired course, and the RNP boundary graphic is rendered at a position relative to the rendered aircraft symbol and comprises a shaded region that shades a portion of the display device.
Method And Apparatus Of Monitoring A Navigation System Using Deviation Signals From Navigation Sensors
US Patent:
6178379, Jan 23, 2001
Filed:
Oct 31, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/961848
Inventors:
David B. Dwyer - Scottsdale AZ
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G08G 500, G01S 514, G05D 102
US Classification:
701205
Abstract:
A high integrity navigation system is created using a low integrity navigation computer monitored by a high integrity system. A navigation sensor (e. g. DGPS, GPS, ILS, MLS, and the like) is programmed with a desired trajectory. The navigation sensor calculates the vehicle position and generates a deviation signal indicative of the deviation of the vehicle from the desired trajectory. The navigation computer uses the deviation signal in the control law computations to generate steering commands for controlling the vehicle. The navigation sensor monitors the deviation of the vehicle from the desired trajectory. If the deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold, an integrity alarm signal is communicated to a display or other alarm to alert the operator.

International Classification:
G01C021/00, G05D001/08, G09G005/08
US Classification:
701206, 701210, 340971
Abstract:
A navigational system includes a display device and logic that simultaneously presents a textual display of an original flight plan and a modified flight plan on the display device. The textual display includes a textlist of waypoints that are on the original flight plan and the modified flight plan and performance data for common waypoints that are on both the original flight plan and the modified flight plan, as well as for new waypoints that are added to the modified flight plan. The performance data for each common waypoint includes performance data for the waypoint on the original flight plan and for the waypoint on the modified flight plan. The system may further include an interface device that allows an operator to change the modified flight plan. The logic updates the textlist of waypoints on the textual display when the modified flight plan is changed and updates the performance data on the textual display for common waypoints when the modified flight plan is changed. The logic may also designate on the textual display waypoints to be removed, which correspond to waypoints that are on the original flight plan but not on the modified flight plan, and, when the modified flight plan is activated to become a new flight plan, the logic removes from the textual display the waypoints that are designated to be removed.
