Aircraft turbulence encounter reporting system

摘要

Disclosed is a method and means for qualifying, quantifying and reporting aircraft turbulence encounters. The preferred embodiment provides an indirect method of measuring turbulence based upon the implementation of the well known equation:$\mathop{\mathrm{image}} \[ {\text{V}}_{\text{ground}}{\text{= V}}_{\text{air}}{\text{+ V}}_{\text{wind}}\text{.} \]$ Qualification of the turbulence encounter is implemented with a filter and quantification of the turbulence encounter is implemented with analog to digital conversion. Thereafter, a transmitter broadcasts the occurrence of the turbulence encounter to remote receivers tuned to receive the transmission.
