Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for generating an alert for an aircraft potentially exceeding speed limits in airspace with speed limitations. The method comprises retrieving a flight plan for the aircraft and identifying airspace with speed limitations along the flight plan. A speed profile is generated based on the in-flight aircraft's current position, speed and trajectory. Any predicted speed violations are identified by comparing the speed profile with the airspace with speed limitations along the flight plan. A predictive time window is calculated that allows for the in-flight aircraft to decelerate sufficiently to comply with the speed limits of the airspace with speed limitations. The predictive time window includes a zone for the aircraft to reduce its airspeed and a reaction buffer zone to allow the aircrew sufficient time to comply with instructions to decelerate the aircraft. Finally, an alert is generated for the crew of the in-flight aircraft upon entering the predictive time window.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for generating an alert for an aircraft potentially exceeding speed limits in airspace with speed limitations, comprising:\n generating a predictive speed profile based on the in-flight aircraft's current position, speed and trajectory; identifying airspace with speed limitations with data retrieved from a navigational database; identifying any predicted speed violations by comparing the predictive speed profile with the identified airspace with speed limitations; calculating a predictive time window that allows for the in-flight aircraft to decelerate sufficiently to comply with the speed limits of the airspace with speed limitations, where the predictive time window includes,\n a sufficient time period for the in-flight aircraft to reduce its airspeed based on a predetermined deceleration rate, and \n a reaction buffer time period to allow the aircrew of the in-flight aircraft sufficient time to comply with instructions to decelerate the in-flight aircraft; and \n generating an alert for the crew of the in-flight aircraft upon entering the predictive time window, where the alert is displayed on a graphical display device on board the aircraft.
