Abstract
A system that includes an ingress module arranged to receive flight data having a descent rate value and an altitude value. The system also has a data store with descent rate threshold values of at least one aircraft model. The descent rate threshold values are associated, in the data store, with pressure altitude values. The system also includes a descent classification module that is operably coupled to the ingress module and the data store. The descent classification module is adapted to compare the descent rate value with the descent rate threshold values. The system additionally includes an alert module adapted to provide, in response to the descent classification module comparing the descent rate value that exceeds at least one of the descent rate threshold values, an alert signal to a graphic user interface that is operably coupled to the alert module.
