DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DISPLAY METHOD FOR WORK VEHICLE AND UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE
A display system displays, on a display, positions of a work vehicle and one or more unmanned aerial vehicles flying around the work vehicle. The display system includes a processor configured or programmed to obtain position information of the work vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicles, and, based on the position information, display the positions of the work vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicles in a field shown on the display.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REDUCING RUNWAY INCURSION
A method and system for validating Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions for reducing runway incursion at an aerodrome. The method may include the following steps: identifying, using a voice-to-text software, audio ATC instructions broadcasted over an audio channel, for a specific aircraft based on an aircraft code; converting the audio ATC instructions for the specific aircraft into text, using the voice-to-text software, yielding ATC text instructions; presenting the ATC text instructions to a pilot of the specific aircraft, over an electronic display showing runways at the aerodrome and the location of the specific aircraft, and requesting the pilot to confirm receipt of the ATC text instructions; visualizing the ATC text instructions by presenting a route corresponding to the ATC text instruction along the runways presented over the electronic display; and alerting the pilot via the electronic display in a case that the specific aircraft strays away from the route.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING ALTERNATE FLIGHT PLANS
A device includes one or more processors configured to determine a probability that an airplane will follow a submitted flight path. The one or more processors are further configured to in response to a determination that the probability is less than a threshold, provide one or more alternate flight paths to a device.

System and method for enhanced playback of air traffic control communication
A method and system for providing playback of air traffic control (ATC) communications for a pilot of an aircraft has been developed. First, an audio communication is received from the ATC for the pilot of the aircraft. The audio communication is segmented into three separate audio channels including: a raw channel of the audio communication as received, an enhanced channel of a filtered version of the audio communication, and a synthesized channel of a speech synthesized version of the audio communication. An identification function identifies segments of each audio communication with reference to identifying data for the aircraft. The separate audio channels are then stored in an electronic memory for later retrieval by the pilot of the aircraft.

UTILIZING DETERMINED STATUS IN DISPLAYING GRAPHIC OVERLAYS FOR NOTAMS
One example provides a computing device comprising a display device, a logic subsystem, and a memory subsystem. The memory subsystem comprises instructions that are executable by the logic subsystem to display a graphical airspace representing an airspace on the display device, and obtain one or more notice to air missions (NOTAMs) related to the airspace. The instructions are further executable to, for each NOTAM of the one or more NOTAMs, display a graphic overlay on the graphical airspace. The graphic overlay has an appearance based at least upon a determined status of the NOTAM.
AIRCRAFT VISION SYSTEM WITH AN INCONSISTENCY DETECTION SYSTEM AND CORRESPONDING METHOD
An improved aircraft vision system includes a display, a system for detecting inconsistencies between a displayed position of a synthetic depiction and the actual position on the display of a runway and/or of an approach lighting system. The inconsistency detection system includes a module for identifying a row of lights extending transversely to the runway, a system for characterising the at least one row of lights identified in order to determine a given position of the at least one row of lights relative to the runway from among a plurality of possible positions extending transversely to the runway and a calculation module configured to calculate an actual position on the display of the runway and/or approach lighting system using the determined position of the at least one row of lights.
SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A COLLABORATIVE MAP FOR AN AIRCRAFT
A communication system is disclosed herein and includes aircraft equipment and on-ground equipment and uses a collaborative map, which has a graphic user interface that includes digital layers that each display a different interface view, and a digital assistant to optimize missions of the aircraft on ground and in flight. A first instance of the collaborative map and a first instance of the digital assistant are onboard the aircraft for one or more pilots to view and interact with. At least one second instance of the collaborative map and a second instance of the digital assistant are on-ground for one or more operators to view and interact with. Communications are managed to ensure synchronization of the instances of the collaborative map and the instances of the digital assistant.
