Abstract:
Present novel and non-trivial system, apparatus, and method for generating airport hot spot information system are disclosed. A navigation data source and an airport surface data source provide navigation data and airport surface data to a hot spot information generator (“HSIG”). The hot spot data is representative of locations of vertices corresponding to at least one airport hot spot. The HSIG determines the distance between ownship and each vertex of the vertices, and generates advisory alert data if a threshold advisory parameter has been breached; the threshold advisory parameter is a threshold advisory distance and/or a threshold advisory time, and both are configurable by a manufacturer and/or an end-user. The advisory alert data is provided to a presentation system in which a visual alert and/or an aural alert is presented to the pilot on a visual display unit and/or through an aural alert unit.
