METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING CONDITIONAL ESTIMATED ARRIVAL TIMES
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250104566 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING CONDITIONAL ESTIMATED ARRIVAL TIMES
Original Abstract Submitted
aircraft systems and methods are provided for assisting sequencing of aircraft by providing conditional estimated arrival times for short arrivals or early clearances. one method involves identifying a geographic location associated with a merge point for an approach to an airport associated with a flight plan for an aircraft, determining an alternative lateral trajectory for the aircraft from a second geographic location along a sequencing route between arrival and the merge point, determining a conditional estimated arrival time for the aircraft at the merge point based at least in part on the alternative lateral trajectory, and transmitting a message including the conditional estimated arrival time for the aircraft to an external computing system.
