Aircraft’s Proximity and Warning Systems

Abstract

In this article, the authors describe their research activities related to aircraft’s proximity and warning systems. After a short introduction the authors expound the various warnings and their level connected to the topic, and the Master Warning / Caution lamp, the Engine Indicating & Crew Alerting System and the Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring system will be described. Our goal is not only to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand summary, but also to present in detail the warning systems that can be found in modern aviation. For this reason, we will show the operation, structure, sound and visual signals of the Stall Warning, Overspeed Warning, Altitude Alerting, Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System, Runway Awareness and Advisory System.
