Abstract
A method for calculating lateral avoidance trajectories for an aircraft includes obtaining data indicative of current aircraft position, current track, current roll, current airspeed, current vertical speed, current altitude, and maximum achievable roll of the aircraft. The method includes calculating a current trajectory of the aircraft and calculating a left trajectory and right trajectory of the aircraft corresponding to the aircraft turning left/right at the maximum achievable roll from the current aircraft position. The method also includes obtaining local terrain elevation grid data; determining intersections between the local terrain elevation grid, and each of the current trajectory, left trajectory, and right trajectory and providing an indication, of any intersections between the local terrain elevation grid, and each of the trajectories.
