Abstract:
An aircraft path vector analysis system includes at least one processor coupled with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code for causing the at least one processor to determine a previous path of an aircraft, determine an approach volume based on a location of a runway and a location of the aircraft, determine a projected path vector of the aircraft based on at least one of the previous path of the aircraft and an aircraft performance characteristic, and display data indicative of at least one of the previous path, the projected path vector, and the approach volume on a display device, where the projected path vector indicates whether the aircraft is projected to remain in the approach volume.
