Abstract:
1. A method comprising: at a processing device located on an aircraft, receiving aircraft speed, a predefined reference speed, a manually set bug speed value, and aircraft location information, setting a target speed equal to the manually set bug speed value if the manually set bug speed value is less than the reference speed plus a value associated with a predefined maximum wind setting added value, and setting the target speed equal to the reference speed plus the maximum wind added value if the manually set bug speed value is not less than the reference speed plus the maximum wind added value to avoid reliance upon the bug speed in the setting the target speed; and at an output device in signal communication with the processing device, outputting an alert if the received aircraft speed is greater than the set target speed plus a predefined error value when the received aircraft location is within a threshold value of at least one of a landing or touchdown point.
