ABSTRACT:
An aircraft landing information system is disclosed which provides to the aircraft pilot information regarding the actual and preferred sink rate of the aircraft, the distance between the landing gear wheels and the runway, and deviation of the actual sink rate from the preferred sink rate. An altitude determining sensor is provided on the aircraft and the information transmitted therefrom is fed into a microprocessor or like system which then presents the relevant data to the pilot in an audio and/or visual format to allow the pilot to touch down at the preferred sink rate.
