Abstract:
1. A method for determining a predicted stopping performance of an aircraft moving on a runway, comprising: determining, by a processor unit, a predicted stopping force acting on the aircraft to stop the aircraft as the aircraft is moving on the runway; determining, by the processor unit, a predicted deceleration of the aircraft moving on the runway using the predicted stopping force acting on the aircraft to stop the aircraft; determining, by the processor unit, the predicted stopping performance of the aircraft on the runway using the predicted deceleration of the aircraft; determining a predicted stopping position of the aircraft with respect to the runway using the predicted deceleration of the aircraft; and setting the predicted deceleration of the aircraft equal to a predicted deceleration for the aircraft due to maximum braking in response to a determination that an automatic braking system is active and the predicted deceleration of the aircraft due to maximum braking is less than a target deceleration for the aircraft of the automatic braking system.
