Abstract

A low airspeed alerting system for alerting the pilot of an aircraft of insufficient airspeed during a landing monitors various readily available signals representative of flight parameters of an aircraft such as pitch angle, vertical speed and true airspeed and advises the pilot when the airspeed of the aircraft is approaching an airspeed (kinetic energy) that is too low with respect to the ground to maintain the aircraft flying along the desired flight path without stalling, or without action by the pilot in time to recover.
