System and method for indicating windshear system readiness
First Claim
1. A method of indicating readiness of a predictive windshear system on an aircraft, the method comprising:
- determining whether the windshear system is in a ready state, comprising;
comparing a first time until a first parameter reaches a first value with a second time for initialization of the windshear system; and
determining that the windshear system is ready to detect the windshear event in response to the first time being greater than the second time; and
providing a first output that causes an indication of the ready state, the ready state being responsive to the windshear system being ready to detect a windshear event.

Abstract
A method for indicating readiness of a predictive windshear system on an aircraft is provided. The method includes determining whether a windshear system is in a ready state and providing a first output that causes an indication of the ready state, the ready state being responsive to the windshear system being ready to detect a windshear event. Determining whether the windshear system is in the ready state includes comparing a first time until a first parameter reaches a first value with a second time for initialization of the windshear system and determining that the windshear system is ready to detect the windshear event in response to the first time being greater than the second time.

8. An apparatus for indicating readiness of a predictive windshear system on an aircraft, the apparatus comprising:
processing electronics configured to; compare a predicted time until a first value with a predicted time until initialization of the windshear system; determine that the windshear system is ready to detect a windshear event in response to the predicted time until the first value being greater than the predicted time until initialization; and cause an indication of readiness to be output in response to a determination that the windshear system is ready to detect the windshear event. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 19)
