GROUND OBSTACLE COLLISION ALERT DEACTIVATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining an aircraft is in a designated ground area;
in response to determining the aircraft is in the designated ground area, deactivating delivery of ground obstacle collision alerts by a ground obstacle collision alerting system of the aircraft;
after deactivating the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts, determining, by a processor, the aircraft is outside of the designated ground area; and
reactivating, by the processor, the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft is outside the designated ground area.

Abstract
In some examples, a processor is configured to control a ground obstacle collision alerting system of an aircraft to deactivate delivery of ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft is in a designated ground area. In some examples, the processor is configured to determine the aircraft is in the designated ground area based on user input, based on a geographic location of the aircraft, or both. The processor is further configured to control the ground obstacle collision alerting system to automatically reactivate the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft is outside of the designated ground area. In some examples, the processor is configured to determine the aircraft is outside of the designated ground area based on a geographic location of the aircraft, a ground speed of the aircraft, or both.

10. A system comprising:
-
a ground obstacle collision alerting system configured to deliver ground obstacle collision alerts indicative of one or more ground obstacle collision conditions for an aircraft; and a processor configured to determine the aircraft is in a designated ground area, control the ground obstacle collision alerting system to deactivate delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft is in the designated ground area, after controlling the ground obstacle collision alerting system to deactivate the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts, determine the aircraft is outside of the designated ground area, and control the ground obstacle collision alerting system to reactivate the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft outside the designated ground area. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
means for determining an aircraft is in a designated ground area; means for deactivating delivery of ground obstacle collision alerts by a ground obstacle collision alerting system of the aircraft in response to determining the aircraft is in the designated ground area; means for determining the aircraft is outside of the designated ground area after deactivating the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts; and means for reactivating the delivery of the ground obstacle collision alerts in response to determining the aircraft is outside the designated ground area.
