METHOD OF DETERMINING GEOMETRIC FLIGHT HEIGHT UPON AIRCRAFT LANDING Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01S13/93 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: information about the pressure and temperature at the assumed contact point of the aircraft (AC) of the runway obtained at the meteorological station, is automatically transferred to the control center, it is transferred from the control center to the aircraft and automatically entered into the onboard computer. The information entered into the onboard computer is sent back to the control center to automatically confirm the correctness of its introduction. Onboard the geometric height of the aircraft above the planned touch point is determined on the basis of the data on static pressure and the temperature of the inhibited flow measured by redundant meters and also obtained from the control center.

EFFECT: increasing the accuracy and integrity of the altitude measurement characteristics upon aircraft landing due to more complete air temperature measurement.
