Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following detailed description is directed to systems, methods, and computer readable media for determining a landing point for an aircraft. Utilizing the concepts and techniques described herein, routing techniques and routing tools for identifying available / attainable landing points in a stalled propeller or glide footprint of an aircraft may be implemented. The identified available landing sites may include airport aircraft landing sites and off-airport landing sites.

[0024] According to embodiments described herein, available touchdown points are evaluated, allowing recommended or preferred touchdown points to be identified and / or selected. In particular, the evaluation of a landing site may start with a data collection operation, wherein landing site data relating to available landing sites and / or aircraft data relating to aircraft position and performance are collected. The touchdown point data may include, but is not limited to, obstacle data, terrain data...

Abstract

A routing tool is disclosed. The routing tool is configured to determine a landing site for an aircraft by receiving flight data. The routing tool identifies at least one landing site proximate to a flight path and generates a spanning tree between the landing site and the flight path. According to some embodiments, the landing sites are determined in real-time during flight. Additionally, the landing sites may be determined at the aircraft or at a remote system or device in communication with the aircraft. In some embodiments, the routing tool generates one or more spanning trees before flight. The spanning trees may be based upon a flight plan, and may be stored in a data storage device. Methods and computer readable media are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to aircraft flying, and more particularly to systems and methods for determining landing sites for aircraft. Background technique [0002] Although an in-flight emergency that results in an off-airport landing can result in loss of life and property. The problem of selecting suitable emergency landing sites is a complex issue that has been exacerbated by the continued development of previously underdeveloped, underdeveloped and / or unoccupied areas. In an emergency situation in flight, pilots have been limited to selecting emergency landing sites using their planning, experience, vision, and familiarity with a given area. [0003] Under emergency conditions, a pilot may have only a short time to determine the need to perform an emergency landing, find or select a suitable landing site, perform other aircraft emergency procedures, get passengers ready, and then pilot the aircraft to the selected landing site. Th...
