Abstract

Various systems may benefit from the appropriate interworking of subsystems. For example, various avionics systems and method may benefit from the integration of terrain and/or weather avoidance, for example with other detection and avoidance subsystems. A method can include determining, by an avionics system, a hazard condition with respect to an ownship aircraft. The method can also include generating, by the avionics system, a maneuver inhibition based on the determined hazard condition. The method can further include providing the maneuver inhibition to a traffic avoidance or alerting system.
