SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING DISPLAYS FOR NOISE ABATEMENT DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

Abstract:

Methods and systems for generating a vertical situation display for a noise abatement department procedure (NADP). Other NADP relevant displays are also disclosed including display of NADP parameters on altitude tape and primary flight displays, an NADP bug on an engine display and NADP status annunciations. The methods and systems include receiving NADP parameters entered into a flight management system (FMS) on a user interface of the aircraft system. The NADP parameters include: an initial altitude at which take-off thrust should be reduced to NADP thrust, an acceleration altitude at which the aircraft should begin accelerating to a final take-off speed whilst maintaining the NADP thrust, a climb excitement altitude at which a speed target is changed to the final take-off speed whilst maintaining the NADP thrust, and an end altitude at which the NADP should be exited. The methods and systems include generating a vertical situation display for a display device of the aircraft system indicating the NADP parameters on a flight path indication.
