Terrain awareness and warning systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining a location of interest relative to an aircraft using a terrain awareness and warning system;
calculating a distance value and a bearing value for the location of interest relative to the aircraft;
providing first display data to an electronic display, the first display data configured to cause the electronic display to show an aircraft situation display image indicating the location of interest relative to the aircraft; and
providing second display data to the electronic display, the second display data configured to cause the electronic display to show the calculated distance value and the calculated bearing value.

Abstract
Systems and methods for use in generating alerts regarding terrain near aircraft are provided. A method includes determining a location of interest relative to an aircraft using a terrain awareness and warning system. The method further includes calculating a distance value and a bearing value for the location of interest relative to the aircraft. The method further includes providing first display data to an electronic display and providing second display data to the electronic display. The first display data is configured to cause the electronic display to show an aircraft situation display image indicating the location of interest relative to the aircraft. The second display data is configured to cause the electronic display to show the calculated distance value and the calculated bearing value.

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors of an aircraft to:
-
determine a location of interest relative to an aircraft using a terrain awareness and warning system; calculate a distance value and a bearing value for the location of interest relative to the aircraft; provide first display data to an electronic display, the first display data configured to cause the electronic display to show an aircraft situation display image indicating the location of interest relative to the aircraft; and provide second display data to the electronic display, the second display data configured to cause the electronic display to show the calculated distance value, the calculated bearing value, and an indicator line extending from the aircraft to the location of interest. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
