Appl. No.:

17/930124

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Yuta Morioka - Tempe AZ, US
Martin Jezek - Brno, CZ
Jeffrey Glenn - Phoenix AZ, US

Assignee:

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Charlotte NC

International Classification:

B64D 45/00
B64D 43/02
B64D 45/08
G05D 1/10
G08G 5/00
G08G 5/02

Abstract:

Flight guidance systems and methods that provide an airport selection in response to an EO condition in a single engine plane. The airport selection takes into consideration factors such as optimal approach type, runway length, weather, terrain, remaining battery time, and the like. Additionally, various also generate and display a visual indication of a remaining glide range when the EO condition is happening; the remaining glide range determination is based, at least in part, on terrain.

Abstract:

Flight guidance methods, systems, and aircraft systems providing assist-to-land and emergency land (EL) functions. The method includes generating a visual indication of the availability and status of an assist-to-land function and an EL function when the current altitude of the aircraft exceeds an altitude threshold. When in assist-to-land, visual and audible flight guidance can be generated to guide the pilot to a safe landing at a selected runway or at a best runway for the conditions. Functions can be activated by user manipulations of interface objects and/or by software determinations. Software determinations to enter the EL function can automatically control the flying of the aircraft along an approach profile to a safe landing at a nearest suitable airport. EL determinations can be made based on pilot incapacitation.
