Patent ID: 7612716

Claim:
A method for providing live display of in-flight aircraft position and flight information based on multilateration of aircraft radio signals, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining aircraft location and identification from multilateration of an aircraft transponder data source, obtaining aircraft data from at least one data source selected from: aircraft position and flight information from an ASDI (aircraft situational awareness display to industry) data source, flight information from an ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) data source, and flight information from an airline flight information system data source, correlating aircraft data to integrate aircraft information from at least two of the data sources by correlating at least one non-position indicia from multilateration of the aircraft transponder data source with at least one non-position indicia from the at least one data source to produce integrated aircraft information, and providing a real-time display of the integrated aircraft flight information.
