SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AVERTING OVERWEIGHT AIRCRAFT LANDING CIRCUMSTANCES

摘要

The present disclosure includes a method, article of manufacture, and system for averting an overweight landing of an aircraft having a maximum landing weight (MLW). The method, article, and system may comprise, mutatis mutandis, determining a flight plan, receiving sensor data, determining, in response to the sensor data, that a predetermined event has occurred, receiving, in response to the predetermined event, an updated destination, computing, aircraft weight at the updated destination (WAD), comparing the WAD to the MLW, and/or generating, in response to the sensor data, an updated flight plan when the WAD exceeds the MLW.

1. A method of averting an overweight landing of an aircraft having a maximum landing weight (MLW), the method comprising:
determining, by the computer-based flight management system, a flight plan; receiving, by the computer-based flight management system, sensor data; determining, by the computer-based flight management system and in response to the sensor data, that a predetermined event has occurred; receiving, by the computer-based flight management system and in response to the predetermined event, an updated destination; computing, by the computer-based flight management system, aircraft weight at the updated destination (WAD); comparing, by the computer-based flight management system, the WAD to the MLW; and generating, by the computer-based flight management system and in response to the sensor data, an updated flight plan when the WAD exceeds the MLW.
