1. A method comprising:

  • determining a predicted trajectory for a target aircraft, based at least in part on a comparison of information received on a recent trajectory of the target aircraft with a set of procedural trajectory information, wherein the procedural trajectory information includes trajectories for joining a traffic pattern and trajectories for departing the traffic pattern;

    determining whether a violation of protected airspace is predicted between the target aircraft and an ownship, based at least in part on the predicted trajectory for the target aircraft and a predicted trajectory for the ownship; and

    generating an alert output in response to determining that the violation of protected airspace is predicted.
