Patent ID: 8629787

Claim:
A system for generating at least one presentable clearance-dependent advisory, such system comprising: a source of clearance data comprised of a first aircraft system; a source of ownship data comprised of a second aircraft system; a source of target data comprised of a third aircraft system; a source of alert parameter data comprised of at least one fourth aircraft system; a threshold advisory generator configured to receive clearance data representative of an air traffic controller intervention threshold information of a clearance assigned to ownship, receive ownship data representative of at least ownship position, receive target data corresponding to the clearance data, receive alert parameter data representative of at least one alert parameter, determine a dynamic alerting threshold as a function of the air traffic controller intervention threshold information of the clearance data, the ownship data, the target data, and the alert parameter data, generate an advisory data set if the ownship position meets or exceeds the dynamic alerting threshold but precedes the air traffic controller intervention threshold, where the advisory data set is representative of at least one advisory corresponding to a level of threat, where a first advisory is comprised of a visual advisory, a second advisory is comprised of an aural advisory, and a third advisory is comprised of a tactile advisory, and provide the advisory data set to a presentation system; and the presentation system configured to receive the advisory data set, and provide the advisory data set to at least one unit, whereby the first advisory is presented on at least one visual display unit if the first advisory is represented in the advisory data set, the second advisory is presented through at least one aural alerting unit if the second advisory is represented in the advisory data set, and the third advisory is presented through at least one tactile alerting unit if the third advisory is represented in the advisory data set.
