Adjusting aircraft ground movement routes
Devices, methods, and systems for adjusting aircraft ground movement routes are described herein. One device includes a user interface, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive a touch selection of a portion of an aircraft ground movement route displayed in the map of the airfield and a touch drag of the selected portion of the route to a different intersection of the airfield displayed in the map, display, responsive to the selected portion of the route being touch dragged to the different intersection of the airfield, a zoomed-in view of the different intersection, receive a touch selection of a portion of the different intersection in the zoomed-in view, adjust the aircraft ground movement route according to the received touch selection of the portion of the different intersection, and display, in the map, the adjusted aircraft ground movement route.

AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND MONITORING SYSTEM
A monitoring system comprising multiple portable camera units may be formed by aircraft safety cones each housing a video camera for locally viewing under-wing turnaround activities of an aircraft at the stand. Each portable camera unit has a processor for relaying or processing data, images and the like captured by the unit. Data is sent wirelessly to a separate computer/or to other systems or personnel at the airport, or both.
Airport map validation systems and methods
A system and a method include a control unit configured to monitor one or more values of one or more aircraft at one or more airports, and compare the one or more values with one or more attributes of one or more airport maps associated with the one or more airports to determine accuracy of the one or more airport maps.

Aircraft door camera system for jet bridge alignment monitoring
A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a jet bridge cabin is within the field of view of the camera when the aircraft is within a docking distance of the jet bridge cabin. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera by identifying physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin, extracting, using the identified physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin, alignment features corresponding to the physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin that are indicative of alignment between the jet bridge cabin and the aircraft door, determining, based on the alignment features, whether the physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin within the captured image data satisfy threshold alignment criteria to produce an alignment state, and outputting an indication of the alignment state.

System for determining aircraft turnaround time based on geospatial data and aircraft location data
A system for determining a turnaround time for an aircraft at an airport includes one or more processors, one or more geospatial databases storing geospatial data, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors and the one or more geospatial databases. The memory stores data into a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to monitor a wireless data stream indicating aircraft location data. In response to determining the aircraft is idle and is located within an area where a unique parking stand is located, the system establishes a current position timestamp as an on-block time. In response to determining the aircraft is moving out of the unique parking stand, the system determines a position timestamp when the aircraft was last idle, and sets the position timestamp collected when the aircraft was last idle as an off-block time.
