Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for improving the presentation of wake turbulence information. A processor located on an ownship receives position, heading and type information of another aircraft and position and heading information of the ownship. The processor determines if a possible wake condition exists from the other aircraft based on at least a portion of the received information and at least one predefined threshold and generates a wake icon if a wake condition is determined to exist. The wake condition exists when the ownship's altitude is below a first threshold altitude and above a second threshold altitude, wherein the first and second threshold altitudes are based on the other aircraft's altitude.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: at a processor located on an ownship, receiving position and heading of another aircraft; receiving position and heading information of the ownship; determining if a wake condition exists from the other aircraft based on at least a portion of the received information and at least one predefined threshold; and generating a wake icon if the wake condition is determined to exist, the wake icon comprising two or more line segmen…
