Abstract
There are provided systems and methods for enhancing wake turbulence situational awareness in the cockpit of an aircraft. In one aspect, transmissions from a lead aircraft are received and stored by a trailing aircraft to allow the trailing aircraft to create a history of the lead aircraft's position for the purposes of, among other things, determining the relative positioning of the lead and the trailing aircraft (or trailing aircraft's) flight paths and relative altitudes. From this determination, better situational information can be displayed to the flight crew to aid in wake turbulence avoidance.
