AUTOMATIC AUTOLAND ACTIVATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18815130 titled 'AUTOMATIC AUTOLAND ACTIVATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are provided for assisting operation of a vehicle by automatically initiating activation of an automated functionality, such as autoland functionality of an aircraft, in the absence of user input within one or more monitoring periods. One method involves identifying a triggering event, identifying a monitoring period associated with the triggering event, monitoring one or more components for user input within the monitoring period associated with the triggering event, and automatically initiating activation of an automated functionality associated with the vehicle in the absence of user input within the monitoring period associated with the triggering event. In some implementations, the monitoring period adaptively and dynamically varies during operation.
