Methods, systems, and apparatuses for identifying and indicating the secondary runway aiming point (SRAP) approach procedures

Last updated:

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for a Secondary Runway Aiming Point (SRAP) procedure of an approach by an ownship that includes identifying at least one aircraft making an approach that satisfy a set of preconditions to pair the aircraft to the ownship in the SRAP procedure; calculating a set of results based on lateral and vertical deviations of a paired SRAP aircraft to the ownship, and differential lateral and vertical rates of the paired SRAP aircraft to the ownship; deriving one or more points from the calculated set of results to determine whether in a flight path of the ownship there is an occurrence of an intrusion into a wake of the paired SRAP aircraft during the approach, and generating graphic data to present on the cockpit display the occurrence of the intrusion in the wake of the flight path of the ownship to the paired SRAP aircraft.
