An aircraft-based runway overrun awareness alerting system (ROAAS) for an aircraft primary flight display (PFD) is disclosed. In embodiments, the ROAAS is embodied aboard an aircraft and tracks the position and heading of the aircraft. Further, the ROAAS tracks the energy state of the aircraft as it approaches a runway for landing. Based on the current energy state, as well as the runway parameters, the ROAAS predicts a landing point for the aircraft along the runway. Based on this landing point, as well as the current energy state, the ROAAS determines the current likelihood of runway excursion (e.g., that the aircraft will not have sufficient runway remaining to decelerate or stop) and displays this likelihood as a dynamic graphic element not integrated into any other instruments or components displayed by the PFD.

Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving a package in a landing zone relative to a structure. The method includes receiving package information for a package to be delivered to the structure including a size of the package, defining a landing zone for the package according to the size of the package, and receiving notice that the package has arrived at the structure. In response to the notice, the method includes displaying a visual display of the landing zone, monitoring the landing zone to confirm the package is in the landing zone, and issuing a notification that the package is in the landing zone.

The present invention provides an attachment device for an aircraft landing guidance flashing light and an aircraft landing guidance flashing device that do not require adjustment of the angle of the flashing light at the time of attaching an aircraft landing guidance flashing light to the attachment device for an aircraft landing guidance flashing light. An attachment device for an aircraft landing guidance flashing light includes a pair of attachment arms 11; and a light emitting portion fixing plate 12. The light emitting portion fixing plate 12 detachably fixes an aircraft landing guidance flashing light. The light emitting portion fixing plate 12 is supported by the pair of attachment arms 11 such that an angle of the aircraft landing guidance flashing light is at a predetermined angle in a state where the aircraft landing guidance flashing light is fixed to the light emitting portion fixing plate.

Disclosed are a precise landing method using a multi-pattern in an unmanned aerial control system and an apparatus therefor. In an aspect of the present invention, a precise landing method using a multi-pattern of an unmanned aerial robot in an unmanned aerial control system includes receiving an image value from an outside and recognizing a multi-pattern in which control information for precise landing control has been coded based on the image value, obtaining control information when an ID value included in the control information indicates a landing point, moving to the landing point based on the control information, and performing landing at the landing point, and recognizing the multi-pattern again if the landing is not completed. A landing area for the landing of the unmanned aerial robot may include the landing point and the multi-pattern. The multi-pattern may include a first multi-pattern and a second multi-pattern. The first multi-pattern may have a greater size than the second multi-pattern.
