Interface: TcasOwnAirplane

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1262

An own airplane used by Tcas.

Properties

actualGroundSpeed

readonly actualGroundSpeed: NumberUnitReadOnly<Speed>

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1291

The actual (omniscient) ground speed of this airplane at the time of the most recent update.

---

actualGroundTrack

readonly actualGroundTrack: number

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1285

The actual (omniscient) true ground track of this airplane at the time of the most recent update.

---

actualPosition

readonly actualPosition: GeoPointReadOnly

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1270

The actual (omniscient) position of this airplane at the time of the most recent update.

---

actualVelocityVec

readonly actualVelocityVec: ReadonlyFloat64Array

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1326

The actual (omniscient) 3D velocity vector of this airplane at the time of the last update, as [x, y, z]. Each component is expressed in units of meters per second. The coordinate system is the same as the one used for velocityVec. Only the x and y components contain omnisicent values. The z (vertical) component has the same value as the z component of velocityVec.

---

altitude

readonly altitude: NumberUnitReadOnly<Distance>

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1276

The geometric altitude above MSL of this airplane at the time of the most recent update, or NaN if the geometric altitude is not known.

---

canUseActiveSurveillance

readonly canUseActiveSurveillance: boolean

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1329

Whether the own airplane can use active surveillance to track TCAS intruders at the time of the last update.

---

groundSpeed

readonly groundSpeed: NumberUnitReadOnly<Speed>

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1288

The ground speed of this airplane at the time of the most recent update, or NaN if the track is not known.

---

groundTrack

readonly groundTrack: number

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1282

The true ground track of this airplane, in degrees, at the time of the most recent update, or NaN if the track is not known.

---

isOnGround

readonly isOnGround: boolean

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1306

Whether this airplane is on the ground at the time of the most recent update.

---

position

readonly position: GeoPointReadOnly

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1267

The position of this airplane at the time of the most recent update. If the position is not known, then both latitude and longitude will be NaN.

---

positionVec

readonly positionVec: ReadonlyFloat64Array

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1309

The 3D position vector of this airplane at the time of the last update. Always equal to [0, 0, 0].

---

radarAltitude

readonly radarAltitude: NumberUnitReadOnly<Distance>

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1303

The radar altitude of this airplane at the time of the most recent update, or NaN if the radar altitude is not known.

---

velocityVec

readonly velocityVec: ReadonlyFloat64Array

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1318

The 3D velocity vector of this airplane at the time of the last update, as [x, y, z]. Each component is expressed in units of meters per second. The coordinate system is an Euclidean approximation of the geodetic space around the airplane such that the positive x axis points horizontally toward true east, the positive y axis points horizontally toward true north, and the positive z axis points vertically upward. If one of the velocity components is not known, then it will be NaN.

---

verticalSpeed

readonly verticalSpeed: NumberUnitReadOnly<Speed>

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1297

The barometric vertical speed of this airplane at the time of the most recent update, or NaN if the vertical speed is not known.

Methods

predictPosition()

predictPosition(simTime, out): Float64Array

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1341

Calculates the predicted 3D position vector of this airplane at a specified time based on the most recent available position and velocity data. Each component of the vector is expressed in units of meters. The coordinate system is an Euclidean approximation of the geodetic space around the airplane such that the positive x axis points horizontally toward true east, the positive y axis points horizontally toward true north, and the positive z axis points vertically upward. The origin is at the most recent known position of this airplane.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
simTime	number	The sim time at which to calculate the position, as a Javascript timestamp.
out	Float64Array	The vector to which to write the result.

Returns

Float64Array

The predicted position vector of this airplane at the specified time.

---

update()

update(simTime): void

Defined in: src/sdk/traffic/Tcas.ts:1347

Updates this airplane's data.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
simTime	number	The current sim time, as a Javascript timestamp.

Returns

void
