    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting an RTA waypoint with associated time constraints. The system includes a flight management system (FMS) providing an assigned flight plan with a plurality of waypoints; a display device configured to render a current location and trajectory of the aircraft in a navigation display and in a vertical display; and a controller circuit. The system locates the RTA waypoint among the plurality of waypoints, as a function of the flight plan and the current location and trajectory of the aircraft. The system identifies a time constraint associated with the RTA waypoint. The system uses the time constraint to determine a type, from among an “at”, a “before”, and an “after”, for the RTA waypoint; and, assigns a preprogrammed visual encoding scheme for the type to the RTA waypoint. The system presents the RTA waypoint, using the visual encoding scheme, on the display device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating an alert for an aircraft potentially exceeding speed limits in airspace with speed limitations. The method comprises retrieving a flight plan for the aircraft and identifying airspace with speed limitations along the flight plan. A speed profile is generated based on the in-flight aircraft's current position, speed and trajectory. Any predicted speed violations are identified by comparing the speed profile with the airspace with speed limitations along the flight plan. A predictive time window is calculated that allows for the in-flight aircraft to decelerate sufficiently to comply with the speed limits of the airspace with speed limitations. The predictive time window includes a zone for the aircraft to reduce its airspeed and a reaction buffer zone to allow the aircrew sufficient time to comply with instructions to decelerate the aircraft. Finally, an alert is generated for the crew of the in-flight aircraft upon entering the predictive time window.
