Methods, systems and computer readable media for arming aircraft runway approach guidance modes

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed for direct arming aircraft runway approach guidance modes, for example and without limitation, for aircraft operational. In some aspects, a method for directly arming a runway approach guidance mode of an aircraft includes displaying on a display unit an airport, selecting the airport and selecting an active runway for final approach, displaying an path toward the selected final approach runway, selecting the final approach runway, displaying on the display unit at least one symbol associated with at least one runway approach guidance mode, and arming at least one of the at least one runway approach guidance mode.

1. A method for direct arming at least one runway approach guidance mode of an aircraft, the method comprising:
using an aircraft runway approach mode engagement module implemented using a processor for: displaying, on a display unit, a navigation display comprising an active runway for final approach that is connectedly aligned with a lateral axis of an approach path associated with the active runway, and a vertical display comprising the active runway for final approach that is connectedly aligned with a vertical axis of the approach path associated with the active runway; selecting the active runway for final approach; displaying on the display unit an interactor associated with the selected final approach runway; displaying on the display unit at least one symbol associated with the at least one runway approach guidance mode; moving the interactor to select the at least one symbol associated with the at least one runway approach guidance mode; and arming, on the navigation display of the display unit, a lateral runway approach guidance mode that provides lateral approach guidance and a vertical runway approach guidance mode that provides vertical approach guidance.
