METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING COMPLIANCE WITH A NON-TRANSGRESSION ZONE BETWEEN AIRCRAFT APPROACH CORRIDORS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring compliance with a non-transgression zone between aircraft approach corridors, the method comprising:
- determining, with processing circuitry, a predicted path of an aircraft during a flight based upon at least a representation of a roll angle of the aircraft and a cross-track component of velocity of the aircraft;
identifying an instance in which the predicted path of the aircraft during the flight intersects the non-transgression zone; and
causing an alert to be issued in the instance in which the predicted path of the aircraft during the flight intersects the non-transgression zone.

Abstract
A method, computing system and computer program product are provided to monitor compliance with a non-transgression zone between aircraft approach corridors, thereby facilitating simultaneous instrument approaches. In the context of a method, a predicted path of an aircraft is determined during a flight based upon at least a representation of a roll angle of the aircraft and a cross-track component of the velocity of the aircraft. The method also includes identifying an instance in which the predicted path of the aircraft during the flight intersects a non-transgression zone. The method further includes causing an alert to be issued in the instance in which the predicted path of the aircraft during the flight intersects the non-transgression zone.
