GATEWAY AND METHOD FOR AIRCRAFT ON-GROUND DETERMINATION

摘要

Systems and methods for aircraft on-ground determination are provided. In one embodiment, an onboard motion controlled wireless avionics datalink gateway comprises: a wireless radio chipset module; anda velocity interlock coupled to an aircraft motion sensor and the wireless radio chipset module. The wireless radio chipset module is configured to establish one or more intra-aircraft radio communication links with one or more onboard avionics system, and wherein the wireless radio chipset module is configure to establish one or more external radio communication links with at least one ground-based wireless communication system. The aircraft motion sensor is configured to output to the velocity interlock an aircraft motion signal indicative of a velocity of an aircraft in which the gateway is installed. The velocity interlock enables and disables the one or more intra-aircraft radio communication links and the one or more external radio communication links based on the aircraft motion signal.
