| FIG. 4 shows the GROUND-BASED
DATA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. The
processor 21 integrates the Air
Traffic Control/Management
(ATC/M) module 19
with
the Air Carrier and Aircraft
Manufacturing Communication
Module 20. The ATC/M module 28 assimilates
Terminal Radar Approach Control
(TRACON) ATC/M 25 digital data with
digital Map Database 26, Weather Database 27, digital
Topographic Database 28 and En-route ATC/M 29 data. The Air
Carrier and Aircraft
Manufacturers Communication
Module 20 integrates all Air
Carrier and Aircraft Emergency
& Maintenance,
Warnings/Cautions, Simulations 30 and the Remote
Pilot Secure Aircraft Simulator 7. For training
purposes, among others, the
Remote Pilot Simulator 7 can also be
interfaced to an aircraft
manufacturer's simulator located
at either the Air Carrier or
Aircraft Manufacturing Facility 30. This permits the
remote pilot located in the
ground-based Remote Pilot
Simulator 7 to undergo
emergency training using data
derived from an aircraft
manufacturer or air carrier
simulator, in place of
operational aircraft data, prior
to any actual aircraft problems.
It permits the remote pilot a
chance to practice varying
emergency landing procedures and
maneuvers concurrent with an
in-flight aircraft, such as
Aircraft 2, being on
autopilot. This maybe a vital
capability since many aircraft
that are experiencing major
problems with a landing can be
operated on autopilot for a
substantial portion of flight
time prior to attempting to land
said aircraft. This technique
optimizes the success in landing
an aircraft that is experiencing
landing related problems. |
