1. A method for operating an avionics system on-board an aircraft comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals representative of a current operating state of the aircraft;
calculating a future operating state of the aircraft based on the plurality of signals representative of the current operating state of the aircraft and on at least one air performance model associated with the aircraft; and
generating an indication of the future operating state of the aircraft with the avionics system on-board the aircraft.

Abstract
Methods and systems for operating an avionics system on-board an aircraft are provided. A plurality of signals representative of a current state of the aircraft are received. A future state of the aircraft is calculated based on the plurality of signals representative of the current state of the aircraft. An indication of the future state of the aircraft is generated with the avionics system on-board the aircraft.

14. An avionics system comprising:
-
a plurality of avionics devices, each being configured to generate a signal representative of a current operating state of an aircraft; an alert generator configured to provide an alert to a user on-board the aircraft; and a processing system in operable communication with the plurality of avionics devices and the alert generator, the processing system being configured to; calculate a future operating state of the aircraft based on the signals representative of the current operating state of the aircraft and based on at least one air performance model; and cause the alert generator to generate an alert to the user on-board the aircraft based on the calculated future operating state of the aircraft. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
