Abstract:
A method for dynamic control of runway illumination on aircraft, suitable for controlling the illumination of a light equipment comprising a LED matrix and refraction optics during a flight phase. The method comprises the steps of a) determining predefined flight dynamic movement equations for the flight phase, b) obtaining real data from autonomous sensors independent from the aircraft sensors, c) using extended Kalman Filter and algorithm taking into account the data from the autonomous sensors to obtain the aircraft dynamics data. This step c) comprises the c1) predict phase and c2) update phase, and d) applying the obtained aircraft dynamics data to light control laws affecting the light equipment.
