21 GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM FOR USE WITH AIRCRAFT HAVING DEGRADED PERFORMANCE PCT/US1986001749 1986-08-25 WO1987001356A1 1987-03-12 SUNDSTRAND DATA CONTROL, INC.; BATEMAN, Charles, D.; GLOVER, John, H.; MULLER, Hans, R.
Performance of an aircraft ground proximity warning system can be improved, especially where the performance of the aircraft itself has been degraded by a factor such as wind shear, by extending excessive descent rate (24) and negative climb after takeoff (32) warning enveloppes down to within five feet of the ground. Additional immprovements in warning performance can be made by monitoring flight path angle (100) when the aircraft is close to the ground, and by monitoring computed altitude rate (16), phase of flight (208, 236), glide slope deviation (110), angle of attack (10) and stall margin (82).
22 GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD HAVING A REDUCED SET OF INPUT PARAMETERS PCT/US2000/007976 2000-03-24 WO00057202A2 2000-09-28
The ground proximity warning system and method provide a number of alerts based upon a substantially reduced list of input parameters relative to a conventional ground proximity warning system and method. The ground proximity warning system and method generally constructs alert envelopes and generates alerts if the upcoming terrain or other obstacles pierce the alert envelopes. The ground proximity warning system and method can also generate alerts if the aircraft has an excessive descent rate at a relatively low altitude and if the aircraft descends immediately following takeoff in a similar fashion to Mode 1 and Mode 3 alerts. Further, the ground proximity warning system and method can provide altitude call outs at predefined altitudes above a target runway and can provide alerts if the aircraft appears to be landing short of a runway. The ground proximity warning system and method are capable of providing the various warnings based upon only a pressure altitude, GPS signals and, in some embodiments, the external air temperature. Thus, the ground proximity warning system and method can be independent of a radio altimeter, an ADC, a glideslope receiver and signals indicative of the configuration of the landing gear and flaps.
23 GROUND PROXIMITY APPROACH WARNING SYSTEM WITHOUT LANDING FLAP INPUT PCT/US1988001102 1988-04-05 WO1988008182A1 1988-10-20 SUNDSTRAND DATA CONTROL, INC.; BATEMAN, Charles, D.; GROVE, Michael, M.
A ground proximity warning system is disclosed which can recognize when an aircraft is on a final approach to an airport without utilizing a landing flap signal input. Airports (16) together with the surrounding terrain topography are modeled by a simple geometric shape, such as, an inverted truncated cone (4), and stored on-board the aircraft. The system uses navigational data (12, 14) to determine the distance of the aircraft from the geometric model. Once the aircraft is determined to be within the area defined by the geometric model, the system provides an enabling envelope (46) indicative that the aircraft is on a final approach for enabling various ground proximity warning systems. Also disclosed is a system for altering the enabling envelope (46) as a function of the aircraft's alignment with particular runway (50).
24 GROUND PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM FOR USE WITH AIRCRAFT HAVING DEGRADED PERFORMANCE PCT/US1985001315 1985-07-10 WO1986001022A1 1986-02-13 SUNDSTRAND DATA CONTROL, INC.; BATEMAN, Charles, D.; GLOVER, J.H.; MULLER, Hans, R.
Performance of an aircraft ground proximity warning system can be improved, especially where the performance of the aircraft itself has been degraded by a factor such as wind shear, by extending Mode 1 (24) and Mode 3 (32) warning envelopes down to within five feet of the ground. Additional improvements in warning performance can be made by monitoring flight path angle (46) when the aircraft is close to the ground. Warnings are based on a logic network (28) which uses radio altitude (12), barometric altitude rate (14), airspeed (50), stall margin (82), and a source (10) of signals representative of the angle of attack, vertical acceleration, and phase of flight of the aircraft, whereby a warning (30) is provided that the aircraft should pitch up except when the stall margin is below a predetermined value.

Methods and systems are disclosed for preventing aircraft collisions with forward looking terrain avoidance (FLTA) functionality based on a terrain avoidance profile used to evaluate potential terrain threats based on the projected flight path of an aircraft in flight, and a clear terrain profile to determine whether the terrain threat has been cleared. If the terrain avoidance profile conflicts with terrain, a collision threat may exist whereby the pilot is notified and a terrain avoidance maneuver is executed. During the terrain avoidance maneuver the clear terrain profile extends in a direction substantially parallel with the horizon at or near the present altitude of the aircraft to check whether it is safe to return to the previous flight path angle or otherwise end the terrain-avoiding maneuver. When the clear terrain profile no longer conflicts with the terrain threat, a terrain clear indicator is then issued to the pilot.

On améliore l'efficacité d'un système d'avertissement de proximité du sol pour un aéronef, en particulier lorsque le comportement de l'aéronef lui-même s'est détérioré en raison, par exemple, d'un gradient vertical de vent, en portant les limites d'alarme relatives à une vitesse de descente excessive (24) et à une montée négative après décollage (32) à cinq pieds du sol. Des améliorations supplémentaires peuvent être apportées à l'efficacité du système d'alarme en contrôlant l'angle de trajectoire de vol (100) lorsque l'aéronef est proche du sol, et en contrôlant la vitesse de changement d'altitude calculée par ordinateur (16), la phase de vol (208, 236), la déviation de pente radiogoniométrique (110), l'angle d'attaque (10) et la marge de décrochage (82).
