Embodiment Construction

[0011] In one embodiment, the present invention provides for Honeywell's SmartRunway TM improvements to help reduce the likelihood of runway incursion incidents and accidents by providing timely audible messages to the crew during ground taxi, takeoff, final approach, and landing / rollout operations to provide improved situational awareness to the crew .

[0012] The alert is generated based on the aircraft's current location when compared to airport runway information stored within a runway database (eg, Honeywell's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) database).

[0013] The present invention is described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. However, the invention may be embodied in many different equivalent forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and comp...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for improving runway status awareness. An apparatus, method and computer program product for generating and annunciating to a flight crew if they are on or approaching a closed runway. The present invention alerts the pilot to operations on closed runways with appropriate and non-misleading information, thus allowing the pilot to make better decisions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for improving runway state awareness. Background technique [0002] Honeywell's Committed to solving one of the top ten global safety problems listed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) - runway incursions. With one incident per day worldwide, runway incursions cost the industry an estimated $100 million annually due to passenger injuries, aircraft repairs and safety inspections. [0003] As the next generation solution for Runway Alert and Advisory System (RAAS), SmartRunway TM Improves situational awareness by providing timely position advisories and graphical alerts to crew members during taxi, takeoff, final approach, landing and rollout to reduce the likelihood of runway incursions. [0004] When an aircraft approaches a closed runway for landing or takeoff, the information given to pilots can be misleading. Contents of the invention [0005] The present invention provides ...
