Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to flight management systems used on aircraft, and more specifically to a flight management system that allows a pilot or other user to conveniently and interactively select and display a flight plan.
  • a flight plan is the detailed description of the route to be followed by an aircraft in the context of a planned flight. It comprises a chronological sequence of waypoints named and described by their position, their altitude and the time they are flown over.
  • the waypoints constitute the reference path to be followed by the aircraft for the purpose of complying as well as possible with its flight plan.

  • a zoom positioning element provides variability of scale.
  • clockwise rotation of the knob may increase the scale (i.e., zoom-in) and counter-clockwise rotation of the knob may decrease the scale (i.e., zoom-out).
  • a pan knob may function in an analogous manner. In some cases it may be convenient to arrange the pan and zoom knobs so that they are concentric with one another.
  • embodiments of this invention provide both a plan view and a profile view simultaneously.
  • the plan view is a top view, looking vertically downward, showing the aircraft's position vis-a-viz the lateral terrain.
  • the aircraft may be generally situated in the center of the view.
  • the profile view is a lateral section of an aircraft's flight path, showing the ground and the space around the airplane.
  • the plan view could incorporate a course deviation indicator, such as by the plane being shown off the desired flight path, the desired flight path being indicated by a solid line of a predetermined color.
  • the profile view has a fixed scale, and is generally expanded with respect to the plan view, although this expansion is not necessary. In this embodiment, no matter how the zoom is set on the plan view, the profile view shows a constant scale view of the vertical position of the airplane with respect to the flight plan and the ground.
  • the profile view has dual vertical axes, one on the left hand side and one on the right hand side.
  • the left hand vertical axis is like an altimeter tape, showing altitude.
  • the right hand vertical axis works in conjunction with the display of the aircraft in the profile view: to wit, the aircraft is shown climbing or descending according to its current flight path.
  • a dotted line extending from the aircraft intersects the right hand vertical axis and thereby indicates the angle at which the aircraft is flying, or its vertical flight angle (flight path angle), again in a fixed scale.
  • the aircraft need not be shown climbing or descending, rather, it may be shown level, but the right hand axis may then employ a similar "tape” metaphor to indicate the angle of climb or descent - the “tape” may move up or down to show the appropriate angle. This latter embodiment is not shown in the figure.
  • the data on the two displays are related. As a waypoint is being approached on the top display, the bottom display will also display the waypoint being approached. If, e.g., the airplane must descend to 8000 feet as shown on the top display flight path, as is often the case per tower instructions, etc., the descent may be seen on the lower profile display as well.
  • the granularity of the right- hand axis may change and the axis may shift as the plane ascends or descends. If ascending, the axis may shift downward to show more values for positive ascent angles, and the converse for descending.
  • Embodiments of the invention include an interactive knob (like those that currently exist for heading, flight path angle, altitude, or airspeed (airspeed because if a pilot wants to descend quickly, they'll generally do so at a point near the redline of the airplane)) that enable a pilot to descend to a particular altitude at a particular waypoint.

  • the system shows a preview altitude which is a dotted green horizontal line at 6000 feet.
  • the system also draws an angled dotted line from 8000 feet to 6000 feet at a particular angle.
  • the dotted line i.e., the proposed flight plan, sweeps through a variety of angles, from steep to gradual or vice- versa. It may be turned into a solid line if it is actually the path that is being flown - it is white if it is merely proposed. If it is merely conditional, as noted above, the line will be a dotted green line.
  • the FPA button may be pressed. Then the dotted green line turns into a solid magenta line.
  • the line may snap to the Oceanside waypoint.
  • the pilot may visually select in a highly graphical and interactive way a desired descent angle.
  • the selected path helps define a provisional waypoint If, e.g., the order was made to descend to 6000 feet, then the point of intersection between the selected path and the 6000 feet horizontal line becomes this provisional waypoint.
  • the ALTITUDE HOLD button may be pushed.
  • a knob need be turned - the interactivity allows this.
  • the knob could be replaced with a button such as a slew button, that allows for angles varying between, e.g., -6 degrees to + 10 degrees, in 0.1 degree increments. As above, the same should react quickly to user input.
  • provisional or conditional waypoints may be established, e.g., if a flight requirement after take-off is to make a turn at 1000 feet.
  • the location of the 1000 feet point is not known because the speed of any given plane is not known. But the system can create a provisional waypoint given the current flight conditions. If speed changes, the position of the provisional waypoint is changed accordingly.
  • the waypoint will of course also be shown on the lower display of the vertical situation display.
  • provisional waypoints may be created where pilots have to meet certain flight requirements, and can also be created when pilots (or the tower) create their own flight requirements. For the former, the pilot cannot vary the requirement, and the system may store all such requirements in a database.
  • the system can obtain data about its current location, such as what aircraft it is at, via pilot input or GPS automatic sensing. The same is true of performance around the aircraft, for which onboard databases may be employed. The following factors, which form only a partial list, may be considerations of such "potential performance indicators" systems: climb angle, airspeed limitations, engine operating characteristics, temperature, altitude of airport, density altitude.
