A system is provided for detecting misalignment between a helipad and a structure associated with the helipad. The system comprises a first database that includes first structure data, which data can comprise a location of the first structure. The system can further comprise a second database that can include second structure data, where the second structure data can comprise a location of the second structure. The second structure can comprise a helipad situated atop the first structure. The system can further comprise a processor coupled to receive the first structure data from the first database and the second structure data from the second database and can be configured, upon receipt of the first data structure and the second data structure: determine a correlation coefficient based upon a degree of overlap of the first volumetric model and the second volumetric model, and selectively generate an alert based upon the correlation coefficient.

Systems and methods for detecting misalignment between a helipad and an associated structure

Methods and systems are provided for improving pilot situational awareness during brown-over-brown display situations. An image is rendered, on a display, that includes one of, or both, rendered terrain and rendered sky. A sky veil is at least selectively rendered on a portion of the display. The sky veil, when rendered, is rendered at least partially transparent and in a manner that portions of the sky veil that overlap with rendered sky are not discernable, and rendered terrain is viewable through portions of the sky veil that overlap with terrain.
