ABSTRACT:
Upon landing approach to a runway, glideslope and altitude information is processed to produce an indication of ground distance to the touchdown point. Actual aircraft position is then determined by integrating the aircraft's ground speed. A display of distance from the beginning and end of the runway is provided. An alert is produced if the aircraft approaches the end of the runway at excessive speed. Further, the system may be coupled to the aircraft's autobrake system to automatically control the rate of deceleration.
