Claim 13:
14. An automatic, autonomous predictive aircraft surface state event track (ASSET) method for tracking and predicting aircraft surface state events of an airplane operating on a surface of an airport, comprising:
controlling a sensor suite installed on the airplane to acquire sensor data indicative of operational states of the airplane and transmit the sensor data to an off-airplane ASSET service; and
at the off-airplane ASSET service:
receiving the sensor data,
computing an operational state of the airplane using the sensor data received from the airplane,
using computed operational states of the airplane, identifying future aircraft events associated with operation of the airplane on the surface of the airport, and
using the computed airplane operational state and the identified future aircraft events, providing to aircraft flight control, a prediction that within a statistically-derived time window, the airplane will meet a future aircraft surface state event.
