Termination secured route planning
First Claim
1. A method for creating a representation of a safe termination operation volume indicating a lowest allowable flight altitude to achieve a glide path of a vehicle to a termination point of an area of interest, the method comprising:
- taking non allowable fly zones into consideration by adding flight altitude to come around said non allowable fly zones when calculating the lowest allowable flight altitude.

Abstract
A method of forming a safe termination operation volume, and an aircraft provided with a system using such a volume to plan a flight route and/or an emergency route. The volume indicates the lowest allowable flight altitude to achieve a glide path of a vehicle to a termination point of an area of interest, wherein non allowable fly zones are taken into consideration by adding flight altitude to come around the non allowable fly zones when calculating the lowest allowable flight altitude.

13. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a computer readable medium; and computer program instructions recorded on the computer readable medium and executable by a computer to carry out a method of creating a safe termination operation volume comprising taking non allowable fly zones into consideration by adding flight altitude to come around said non allowable fly zones when calculating the lowest allowable flight altitude.

14. A data structure useable as a precaution plan and as an emergency flight plan onboard an aircraft, comprising:
a number of records, each record corresponding to a limited geographical area, and the records together covering an area of interest for an aircraft having a mission, each record capable of holding data representative of a recommended lowest allowable flight altitude for non-emergency conditions, and also capable of holding data representative of a recommended flight direction for emergency conditions, wherein at least one no allowable fly zone has been taken into consideration and thereby adding flight altitude to the lowest allowable flight altitude to come around said at least one non allowable fly zone.
-
15. The data structure according to claim 15 where the data base structure is realised as two separate memory entities, one holding the lowest allowable flight altitude and one holding emergency flight direction information.
