A method to generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan is provided. The method includes receiving at one or more processors in an airborne vehicle input from at least one automatic flight-plan-relevant source, at least one of the one or more processors independently determining a revised flight route based on the received input, at least one of the one or more processors independently generating a preconfigured clearance request message to deviate from the flight plan for a flight crew user based on the determining. The method further includes providing an audible prompt to the flight crew user for one of approval and rejection of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan. When an approval of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan is received from the flight crew user, the preconfigured clearance request message is downlinked.

Method and system to automatically generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan

A method to generate a clearance request to deviate from a flight plan comprising receiving input from at least one flight-plan-relevant source, determining a revised flight route based on the received input, and generating a preconfigured clearance request message to deviate from the flight plan for a user based on the determining. The method further comprises prompting the user for one of approval and rejection of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan. The preconfigured clearance request message is downlinked when an approval of the clearance request to deviate from the flight plan is received from the user.

A circuit and method for predicting an intersection of a host aircraft flight path with the wake vortex of another aircraft.

System and method for predicting and displaying wake vortex turbulence

A method and device for deriving and displaying advanced TCAS information.

Vertical speed indicator and traffic alert collision avoidance system

A method and apparatus for transmitting a directional reply signals in response to Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System and Mode Select signals interrogation signals. Two directional antennas independently acquire an interrogation signal and are connected by means of a configurable switch to a transponder. The antennas may include multiple directional antenna elements.

Transponder having directional antennas

A combined airborne Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System/Mode-Select (ATCRBS/Mode-S) surveillance system and Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance (TCAS) collision avoidance system device having common antennas and a switch coupling the common antennas to the relevant functions.
