Title:
AIRPORT TAXWAY NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003071228
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and system for providing taxiway navigational information to a crewmember of an airplane taxiing at an airport. An airport taxiway navigation system ("ATNS") that executes on an onboard computer system that displays a map of the taxiways of an airport, receives the name of each taxiway of the taxi route specified by the taxi clearance, and highlights the taxiways on a displayed map to provide a visual indication of the cleared taxi route for the crewmembers.
