Abstract
An automatic, autonomous, and aircraft-centric interference advisory method is executed entirely on a first aircraft operating on a movement area of a runway, the movement are including ramps, taxiways, and runways. The method includes a processor onboard the first aircraft computing a first movement projection for the first aircraft using first aircraft data received at the first aircraft; the processor computing additional second movement projections for multiple second aircraft operating on the movement area of the airport using second data regarding each of the multiple second aircraft; the processor detecting a threat to the first aircraft on approach to a defined intersection of the movement area from any of the multiple second aircraft based on a corresponding second movement projection within a configurable time limit of entry into the defined intersection by the first aircraft; and providing on the first aircraft, a threat advisory for a detected threat.
