Preventing prohibited approaches by aircraft to ground objects to be protected involves virtual prohibited zones providing adequate horizontal separation, minimum vertical separation

摘要

The method involves detecting the current flight position with satellite assistance and using it for manual and automatic flight correction. Virtual prohibited zones (12) are arranged around the object (10) with outer boundaries (14) providing an adequate horizontal separation and a predefined minimum vertical separation defining a minimum overflying altitude. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: a device for implementing the method.
