CRUISING DISTANCE CALCULATION DEVICE, NAVIGATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
A cruising distance calculation device includes a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a cruising distance of an eVTOL which is an electric moving object moving in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, and an output unit configured to output information related to a calculation result of the distance calculation unit. The distance calculation unit acquires a corrected remaining power amount obtained by correcting a remaining power amount of a battery provided to the eVTOL with a departure and arrival power amount required during departure and/or arrival of the eVTOL, and calculates the cruising distance based on the corrected remaining power amount.
System and method of response to an unstable approach during an approach to landing for an aircraft
A method includes determining, at a computing system of an aircraft, a target path for an approach to landing based on flight data. The method includes determining an approach phase of approach phases of the approach to landing. The method includes determining a real-time operational region of the aircraft for each monitored condition of monitored conditions based on the real-time aircraft data, the target path, and operational regions for each monitored condition. The method includes accessing notification content for a particular monitored condition for the approach phase. The real-time operational region for the particular monitored condition for the approach phase is outside of a target region of the particular monitored condition for the approach phase. The method also includes sending one or more notification signals based on the notification content from the computing system to one or more output systems.
