System and method for identifying runway position during an intersection takeoff

摘要

A system and method for determining if an aircraft is headed in the right direction on a runway entered upon at a location that does not display runway identification comprises receiving runway and aircraft position data for determining the identity of the runway. The identity of the runway is then compared with a representation of an assigned runway stored on the aircraft to determine that they match.

1. A method for determining when an aircraft is headed in the right direction on a runway entered upon at a location that does not display runway identification, comprising:
receiving runway data; receiving aircraft position data; determining the identity of the runway from the runway data and the aircraft position data; and comparing the identity of the runway with a representation of an assigned runway stored on the aircraft to determine that they match; retrieving a balanced field length; determining the remaining runway distance from the runway data and the position data; displaying the remaining runway distance in a first manner when the remaining runway distance is greater that the balanced field length; and displaying the remaining runway distance in a second manner when the remaining runway distance is less than the balanced field length.
