RUNWAY INCURSION DETECTION AND INDICATION USING AN ELECTRONIC FLIGHT STRIP SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic flight strip system comprising:
- a control circuit, coupled to a touchscreen display, configured to receive an aircraft location, compare the location to a geofenced area, and generate an indication on the touchscreen display in response to the aircraft location being within the geofenced area without an indication of clearance to enter the geofenced area.

Abstract
An electronic flight strip system and method of detecting and indicating runway incursions are disclosed. One such method receives an aircraft location, compares the location to a geofenced area, and generates an indication on the touchscreen display in response to the aircraft location being within the geofenced area without an indication of clearance to enter the geofenced area. The indication may be part of the electronic flight strip associated with the offending aircraft.

11. A method for operating an electronic flight strip system, the method comprising:
-
receiving an aircraft location; determining if the aircraft location is within a geofenced area; determining if a clearance indication has been received indicating whether the aircraft is to be in the geofenced area; and causing a reaction on a display in an electronic flight strip associated with the aircraft when the aircraft location is within the geofenced area and the clearance indication has not been received. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by control circuitry of an electronic flight system to detect and indicate incursions by an aircraft, operations to perform the detection and indication:
-
determine if an aircraft location is within a geofenced area; determine if a clearance indication has been received indicating whether the aircraft is to be in the geofenced area; and cause a reaction on a display in an electronic flight strip associated with the aircraft when the aircraft location is within the geofenced area and the clearance indication has not been received. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
