Abstract

See full text

Aircraft tail strike protection is provided by displaying to a pilot tail strike warning symbols during takeoff and approach to landing. In a takeoff scenario, a pitch margin indicator symbol referenced to a boresight symbol provides a pilot with anticipatory information and an awareness of the pitch attitude margin before a tail strike incident. In an approach to landing scenario, a TAILSTRIKE warning annunciation is referenced to a flight path symbol and alerts the pilot of an impending tail strike incident. The symbols displayed during either scenario center on the pilot area of focus for each task. They give the pilot an awareness of an impending tail strike incident and necessary reaction time to avoid it.
