Systems and methods of altitude determination

A system includes a memory device, and a processor (510) coupled to the memory device (511). The processor is configured to receive, in a first time interval, from a first component a signal indicating an altitude of the aircraft, from a second component a signal indicating a first heading of the ai...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system includes a memory device, and a processor (510) coupled to the memory device (511). The processor is configured to receive, in a first time interval, from a first component a signal indicating an altitude of the aircraft, from a second component a signal indicating a first heading of the aircraft, and from a third component a signal indicating a first position of the aircraft. The processor is further configured to receive, in a second time interval later than the first time interval, and from the second and third components, signals respectively indicating a second heading and second position of the aircraft. The processor does not receive a signal from the first component in the second time interval. The processor is further configured to determine an estimated altitude of the aircraft and a geometric altitude of the aircraft.
