Abstract:
1. A computer network for calculating and distributing a true aircraft cornering friction coefficient of a runway or taxiway, comprising: (A) A computer network including a data input for receiving aircraft property data directly or indirectly from a flight data management system of an aircraft, wherein the aircraft property data received by the data input of the computer network includes data pertaining to one or more of the following aircraft properties determined at various times for the aircraft while the aircraft is on the runway or taxiway and maintained by the flight data management system: aircraft ground speed, aircraft brake pressure, aircraft longitudinal acceleration, aircraft engine thrust setting, aircraft reverse thrust setting, aircraft engine revolutions per minute, aircraft air speed, aircraft vertical acceleration, aircraft spoiler setting, aircraft airbrake setting, aircraft aileron setting, aircraft flap configuration, aircraft pitch, and aircraft autobrake setting; (B) Wherein the computer network further includes a computer processor for calculating the true aircraft cornering friction coefficient of the runway or taxiway using one or more of the aircraft property data received directly or indirectly by the data input; and (C) Wherein the computer network further includes a data output directly or indirectly for transmitting, providing, recording, or displaying the true aircraft cornering friction coefficient of the runway or taxiway calculated by the computer processor.
