Abstract
A method for providing real-time weather and other information about an airport to an aircraft. The method comprises the steps of generating a signal representing instantaneous weather information, determining a real-time weather information value from the instantaneous weather information signal over a predetermined time interval, generating an address signal representing the real-time weather information value, storing a plurality of signals representing real-time weather information messages, generating one of the message signals corresponding to the real-time weather information value in response to the address signal, and transmitting the message signal to a receiver on the aircraft.
Claims7
A method of transmitting a plurality of types of real-time weather information to a remotely located receiver comprising the steps of:
- a. generating a signal representing instantaneous weather information;
- b. determining a real-time weather information value from said instantaneous weather information signal over a predetermined time interval;
- performing said steps (a) and (b) for each one of said types of real-time weather information in sequence;
- c. generating an address signal representing said real-time weather information value;
- d. storing a plurality of signals representing real-time weather information messages;
- e. generating the one of said message signals corresponding to the real-time weather information value in response to said address signal;
- f. transmitting said one message signal to the receiver;
- and
- performing steps (c) through (f) for each one of said types of real-time weather information in sequence.
A method for transmitting real-time weather and other information to an airplane having a radio receiver comprising the steps of:
- a. generating a plurality of signals representing instantaneous weather information including a temperature signal, a wind speed signal, a wind direction signal and a barometric pressure signal;
- b. determining a real-time weather information value for each of said plurality of weather information signals over individual predetermined time intervals;
- performing said steps (a) and (b) for each of said weather information signals in sequence;
- c. generating a plurality of address signals each representing one of said real-time weather information values;
- d. storing a plurality of signals representing real-time weather information messages;
- e. generating the one of the plurality of message signals corresponding to each one of said real-time weather information values in response to said address signals;
- and
- f. transmitting said message signal to the radio receiver whereby said real-time weather information signals are audibly reproduced to provide the pilot with temperature, wind speed and direction and barometric pressure information;
- and
- performing said steps (c) through (f) for each of said weather information signals in sequence.
