Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for improving pilot situational awareness during brown-over-brown display situations. An image is rendered, on a display, that includes one of, or both, rendered terrain and rendered sky. A sky veil is at least selectively rendered on a portion of the display. The sky veil, when rendered, is rendered at least partially transparent and in a manner that portions of the sky veil that overlap with rendered sky are not discernable, and rendered terrain is viewable through portions of the sky veil that overlap with terrain.
Aircraft Systems And Methods For Unusual Attitude Recovery

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morris Plains NJ
International Classification:
G06F 3/147 B64D 43/00
Abstract:
A vehicle system and method are provided. The system includes a processor configured to compare received data representative of a current attitude with predetermined bank, nose up, and nose down values to determine that an occurrence of unusual attitude is currently underway. Upon determining that an occurrence of unusual attitude conditions is currently underway, the system and method generate display signals that command and control a display system to render roll angle alert symbology. The roll angle alert symbology includes a tracing arrowhead that more clearly shows the direction to recover from unusual attitude conditions. Based in part on the tracing nature of the arrowhead, provided technological improvements are observable on display systems that are monochrome, as well as those with color. In various embodiments, color attributes and confining the dynamic tracing performed by the arrowhead more clearly inform a pilot of the roll recovery direction to recover from unusual attitude conditions.
Aircraft Display Systems And Methods For Generating Horizontal Situation Indicator Graphics With Enhanced Symbology

Assignee:
HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morris Plains NJ
International Classification:
B64D 43/00 G06T 3/60 G09G 5/36
Abstract:
Aircraft display systems for deployment onboard rotorcraft or other aircraft are provided, as are methods carried-out by an aircraft display system. In an embodiment, the aircraft display system includes a controller operably coupled to at least one cockpit display device. The controller is configured to generate a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) graphics on the cockpit display device. The controller selectively switches PFD operation between a heading-centered display mode and at least a first non-heading-centered display mode. The HSI graphics are produced to include one or more movable HSI symbols identifying a current aircraft heading when the PFD operates in the first non-heading-centered display mode. In certain embodiments, the controller may also selectively generate visual alerts on the PFD by altering the appearance of the HSI graphics when an angle between the current track and the current heading of the aircraft exceeds an angular threshold.
Flight Deck Display Systems And Methods For Generating Vertical Speed Alerts During Steep Approaches Of Rotary Wing Aircraft

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
B64D 45/08 B64D 43/02
Abstract:
Embodiments of a flight deck display system deployed onboard a rotary wing aircraft are provided, as are embodiments of a method carried-out by a flight deck display system. In one embodiment, the flight deck display system includes a controller operably coupled to a cockpit display device. The controller is configured to: (i) generate a Primary Flight Display (PFD) on the cockpit display device including a vertical speed indicator; (ii) establish a first vertical speed alert threshold; (iii) compare the first vertical speed alert threshold to a current vertical speed of the rotary wing aircraft; and (iv) if the current vertical speed of the rotary wing aircraft exceeds the first vertical speed alert threshold, produce a first vertical speed alert on the PFD by altering the appearance of the vertical speed indicator in a first predetermined manner.
