Abstract:
1. A method for providing re-planning options to an aircraft during flight, comprising: configuring, using a processor, a set of pilot preferences for said aircraft during a pre-flight configuration phase; applying said set of pilot preferences to an incursion alert processing module; maintaining a data store of conditions impacting said aircraft during takeoff, landing, and in flight, said data store of conditions including conditions relating to weather, airspace restrictions, temporary flight restrictions, ground delay programs, and air traffic; applying said data store to said incursion alert processing module; monitoring a flight path for said aircraft during flight; applying route and position data to said incursion alert processing module; evaluating, by a processor, said set of pilot preferences and said flight path against said data store; generating an incursion alert for said aircraft based on said evaluation; transmitting said incursion alert to said aircraft during flight; generating a plurality of work around options for said aircraft based on said generation of said incursion alert, and said plurality of work around options are re-routing options associated with said flight path for said aircraft; and transmitting said plurality of work around options to said aircraft during flight.
