Aircraft landing evaluation system

摘要

In one embodiment an aircraft landing evaluation system comprises a first sensor to detect at least one landing trigger condition in an aircraft landing environment and a second sensor to detect at least one touchdown trigger condition in the aircraft landing environment. The system further comprises a processor coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, and a memory module coupled to the processor. The memory module comprises logic instructions stored in a computer readable medium which, when executed, configure the processor to collect a plurality of flight parameters associated with the aircraft landing, and to collect a one or more additional flight parameters associated with the aircraft landing. A subset of the plurality of flight parameters are stored in a computer readable memory module coupled to the processing device, and may be presented on a display device coupled to the processing device.

主权项

1. A method of evaluating an aircraft landing, comprising:
in response to detecting at least one landing trigger condition associated with a landing of an aircraft, storing one or more first flight parameters at a memory, wherein the one or more first flight parameters are associated with the landing, and wherein the one or more first flight parameters include a closure rate with the ground; in response to detecting at least one touchdown trigger condition corresponding to a touchdown associated with the landing, storing one or more second flight parameters at the memory, wherein the one or more second flight parameters are associated with the touchdown; determining, based on the closure rate and on the one or more second flight parameters, whether the landing is a hard landing; and in response to determining that the landing is a hard landing, initiating presentation of a hard landing indicator at a display device.
