System and method for displaying runway landing information

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for indicating to an aircrew of an aircraft a normalized runway icon to ensure visualization of a predicted touchdown point, runway length, stopping distance, energy state marking, and threat conditions, where normalization is referenced to typically available length for landing. Indications of present aircraft locations relative to the icons as well as alerts when thresholds are exceeded are provided.

主权项

1. A system for assisting a pilot of an aircraft to perform a stable landing, the system comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine an aircraft energy state of the aircraft; and a display responsive to the processor and configured to:
display a first symbol resembling a runway;display a second symbol indicating a length of the runway or runway length remaining;display a third symbol associated with the first symbol indicating where the aircraft would touch down when landing at the aircraft energy state determined by the processor;display a fourth symbol having a first format and associated with the first symbol indicating where the aircraft would be able to stop based on the aircraft energy state and assumed braking performance;change the fourth symbol to a second format when the fourth symbol is at an end of the runway; and if the aircraft is on the ground,
display a fifth symbol associated with the first symbol indicating the current location of the aircraft on the runway; anddisplay a sixth symbol associated with the first symbol indicating where the aircraft would be able to stop based on the aircraft energy state and current braking performance.
