    Abstract: A system and method are provided for an aircraft at an airport surrounded by an environment, the aircraft having a first engine and a second engine wherein the second engine is to be started after the first engine. The system and method are configured for determining a minimum amount of warm-up time needed for starting the second engine to meet predetermined start-up requirements for the second engine, based on one or more of engine-related information relating to the second engine, aircraft-related information relating to the aircraft, airport-related information relating to the airport, and environment-related information relating to the environment, and producing an alert based on the minimum amount of warm-up time needed.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining which engine of an aircraft to start first for a taxiing operation and/or for estimating a total amount of fuel needed by the aircraft for conducting the taxiing operation includes receiving or accessing historical fuel usage data for each of the first and second engines, receiving or accessing taxiway information, determining which of the first and second engines to start before the other based on optimizing one or more predetermined factors, and producing a first-to-start alert indicating which of the first and second engines is a first-to-start engine. An engine use plan may be determined, the total amount of fuel needed for executing the taxiing operation may be estimated, and a fuel-estimate indication may be produced.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method. The method includes receiving a data structure being a network having nodes linked by links. The nodes have corresponding classes representing corresponding distinct notices to airmen (NOTAMs). The nodes are linked such that any given node is linked to at least one other node. The links represent corresponding pre-determined mathematical degrees of relevance between pairs of linked nodes. The links point from a corresponding less relevant node to a corresponding more relevant node. The nodes are pre-ranked in a prioritized order according to the pre-determined mathematical degree of relevance. The method also includes receiving a request to display the NOTAMs on a display device. The method also includes retrieving the NOTAMs associated with the nodes in the prioritized order. The method also includes commanding the NOTAMS to be displayed on the display device in the prioritized order.

    Abstract: An airport computing system is communicatively coupled to a first airplane and to one or more second airplanes over a network system. The airport computing system comprises a plurality of sensors associated with the first airplane. The airport computing system comprises a data module configured to receive data from the first airplane over the network. The data comprises runway data sampled using the plurality of sensors while the first airplane is on a runway. The airport computing system also comprises a parameter module configured to determine one or more parameters that describe a condition for the runway based on the received runway data. The airport computing system further comprises a transmission module configured to transmit the one or more parameters to the one or more second airplanes over the network.
