I get excited seeing stories about aviation on HN because it's something I work on every day. I've written a few comments above but I'm developer on the system you described (and more) being used in aircraft today. With…
Good question. We've run into similar issues while developing a related feature that helps pilots perform a stable approach. Sometimes pilots were performing a circling approach to a different runway, and a naive…
We actually don't use the localizer to check for an incorrect runway or taxiway landing because the pilot can choose to do so and we don't want to issue nuisance alerts. Runways don't move often and we've found that a…
I've been anticipating the release of this report this since I heard about the incident. I work on an avionics product that's designed to prevent this exact scenario. We use the aircraft's position along with a database…
Me too. This is something that already exists today [0]. It can detect when the aircraft is not lined up with a runway and issues a "Taxiway Landing" aural and visual alert. [0] https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/545578…
Not true, 95% of commercial aircraft have a TAWS system [0] that can show relative terrain on their navigation displays and provides FLTA alerts (forward looking terrain avoidance) by using an onboard terrain database.…
I've seen a few comments on HN and the blog about this question -- I think it's important to note that the article mentions this question was a set of pictures: >>One test had many rows of small pictures, and I…
