Abstract
A computing device to determine engine thrust of an aircraft during taxiing. The computing device includes memory circuitry configured to store computer-readable program code. Processing circuitry is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to cause the computing device to: identify an aircraft on an airport surface; calculate an acceleration of the aircraft during the taxiing of the aircraft; compare the acceleration with predetermined data from similar aircraft; and based on the comparison, determine an engine thrust for the aircraft while the aircraft is taxiing.
