Systems and methods for providing situational traffic aircraft awareness

A situational traffic aircraft awareness system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory comprising instructions that, upon execution by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive an aircraft location of the aircraft from at least one geospatial sensor of the aircraft;
• receive traffic aircraft data including an aircraft identifier and a traffic aircraft location for each of a plurality of traffic aircraft from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B);
• generate a traffic aircraft display based on the aircraft location and the traffic aircraft data for display on a first display device on the aircraft, wherein the traffic aircraft display comprises a graphical representation of the aircraft at the aircraft location, graphical representations of each of the plurality of traffic aircraft at the associated traffic aircraft locations, and a selectable preview element;
• receive a plurality of clearance messages, wherein each of the plurality of clearance messages is associated with one of the plurality of traffic aircraft and comprises the aircraft identifier, a time stamp, and clearance data associated with the one of the plurality of traffic aircraft;
• store the aircraft identifier in association with the clearance data and the time stamp for each of the plurality of traffic aircraft in a traffic aircraft clearance table;
• receive a selection of the graphical representation of a first traffic aircraft from the traffic aircraft display, the first traffic aircraft having a first aircraft identifier and a selection of the preview element;
• retrieve first clearance data corresponding to the first aircraft identifier having a first time-stamp and second clearance data corresponding to the first aircraft having a second time-stamp from the traffic clearance table responsive to the selection of the preview element, wherein the second time-stamp is prior to the first-time stamp;
• and
• regenerate the traffic aircraft display to include the first and second clearance data as a first tag associated with the graphical representation of the first traffic aircraft.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by at least one processor, the instructions configurable to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an aircraft location of the aircraft from at least one geospatial sensor of the aircraft;
• receiving traffic aircraft data including an aircraft identifier and a traffic aircraft location for each of a plurality of traffic aircraft from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B);
• generating a traffic aircraft display based on the aircraft location and the traffic aircraft data for display on a first display device on the aircraft, wherein the traffic aircraft display comprises a graphical representation of the aircraft at the aircraft location, graphical representations of each of the plurality of traffic aircraft at the associated traffic aircraft locations, and a selectable preview element;
• receiving a plurality of clearance messages, wherein each of the plurality of clearance messages is associated with one of the plurality of traffic aircraft and comprises the aircraft identifier, a time stamp, and clearance data associated with the one of the plurality of traffic aircraft;
• storing the aircraft identifier in association with the clearance data and the time stamp for each of the plurality of traffic aircraft in a traffic aircraft clearance table;
• receiving a selection of the graphical representation of a first traffic aircraft from the traffic aircraft display, the first traffic aircraft having a first aircraft identifier and a selection of the preview element;
• retrieving first clearance data corresponding to the first aircraft identifier having a first time-stamp and second clearance data corresponding to the first aircraft having a second time-stamp from the traffic clearance table responsive to the selection of the preview element, wherein the second time-stamp is prior to the first-time stamp;
• and
• regenerating the traffic aircraft display to include the first and second clearance data as a first tag associated with the graphical representation of the first traffic aircraft.
