Abstract
An auto-guidance and control method and system are provided for use in conjunction with an aircraft electric taxi system, wherein electric taxi guidance may be performed in a manual mode by a crew or in an auto-mode by an auto-guidance and control system. First, aircraft status data and airport feature data are accessed. A processor, in response to at least the aircraft status data and the airport feature data, generates taxi guidance information and renders the taxi guidance information on a display. A guidance route is manually navigated utilizing guidance information on the display in the manual mode. In the auto mode, taxi-path commands, generated by the processor, are applied to taxi path guidance controllers in the auto-mode.
