Systems and methods useful in providing equivalent visual operation (EVO) for the flight crew of an aircraft independent of the actual outside weather and visibility conditions through the use of synthetic vision (SV) and enhanced vision (EV) technologies are described. The systems and methods described herein can contribute toward gaining an operational credit that can expand the operational capabilities of an aircraft. The systems and methods described herein can provide relatively simple and intuitive solutions for activating and operating such systems.

Vision guidance systems and methods for aircraft

Systems and methods to facilitate a steep final approach phase of flight of an aircraft are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for operating an aircraft during a steep approach phase of flight of the aircraft comprises operating an engine of the aircraft at an idle speed associated with the steep approach type that is lower than an idle speed associated with a non-steep approach type capable of being executed by the aircraft. The method also comprises operating an ice protection system of the aircraft during the steep approach phase of flight of the aircraft.

Aircraft operation during steep approach

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling thrust produced at takeoff by at least one engine () of an aircraft (). At least one input signal comprising input data indicative of a speed of the aircraft is received (). The speed of the aircraft is compared to a first pre-determined threshold. Responsive to determining that the speed is below the first threshold, a thrust limit for the at least one engine is determined () from the input data and output to the at least one engine a thrust limitation signal for causing the thrust to be limited according to the thrust limit ().

Methods and systems for assisting a pilot during flight of an aircraft are disclosed. The method includes receiving data indicative of a current location of the aircraft during flight and data indicative of a flight boundary, and determining that the flight boundary is relevant to the aircraft. The method also includes causing a display device to display a surface representing the flight boundary relative to the current location of the aircraft.
