Problems solved by technology

in addition, these displays typically occupy a relatively small and limited space on the cockpit display panel, which deteriorates the flight crew's effective assessment of the aircraft traffic situation surrounding their own aircraft

Abstract

A method for filtering and presenting relevant aircraft traffic to a pilot may include determining a location and altitude of aircraft within a predetermined airspace relative to the pilot's own aircraft. The method may also include presenting a representation of the pilot's own aircraft and a representation of the location of each of the aircraft within the predetermined airspace in relation to the pilot's own aircraft on a display to the pilot. The method may additionally include filtering relevant aircraft within a selected filtering airspace relative to the pilot's own aircraft. The method may further include presenting the representation of the relevant aircraft within the selected filtering airspace in a selected format to distinguish the relevant aircraft within the selected filtering airspace from any other aircraft that may be presented in the display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to air vehicles or aircraft and avionics for interfacing with these vehicles, and more particularly to filtering aircraft traffic conditions for display to pilots so that the pilots are aware of the conditions of their airship or air vehicle and control them. Background technique [0002] The global development and implementation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology is expected to provide more operationally efficient airspace. In this environment, aircraft will be able to change flight altitudes during cruise in oceanic and procedural airspace to optimize flight for best fuel consumption (best aircraft performance), tailwind (eg, best tailwind) altitude, to avoid turbulence due to weather at the current flight altitude, and for other reasons. [0003] During the cruise phase of flight, the range of the navigation display (ND) is usually set by the flight crew to a much larger range than in ot...
