Formal, Executable and Explainable Runtime Monitoring of Spoken Air Traffic Control Operational Procedures

The paper introduces a runtime verification framework that monitors spoken air‑traffic control procedures by parsing controller‑pilot radio exchanges, integrating surveillance and onboard observations, and evaluating them against ICAO‑derived temporal obligations. The system generates time‑stamped traces, detects violations, and reports breached obligations with supporting observations. Evaluations on real traffic and synthetic scenarios show high accuracy (F1 = 0.85) and correct identification of procedural deviations in historical accident reconstructions.

FLY-EVAL++: An Evidence-Driven Evaluation Protocol for Safety-Constrained Flight Prediction with Large Language Models

FLY-EVAL++ is an evidence-driven evaluation protocol designed for safety-constrained flight prediction with large language models. It combines deterministic verification of protocol compliance, physical feasibility, and safety constraints with rubric-guided aggregation into interpretable multi-dimensional scores. Applied to Flight Trajectory and Attitude Prediction, the protocol revealed that safety compliance is the most discriminative dimension among 66 LLMs, with models showing up to 28-point differences in safety scores and recurrent failures such as safety violations under physically plausible predictions and instability in multi-step rollouts.

AeroCopilotBench: A Two-Tier Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agents as Aviation Copilots in an Interactive Virtual Cockpit Environment

arXiv:2608. 16349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may assist flight crews with complex decisions and task execution, but existing aviation evaluations centered on static knowledge do not support systematic testing of procedural execution and safety compliance in interactive environments.

VeriPhy: Agentic Physical Reasoning for World Model Evaluation and Refinement

VeriPhy is an auditable physical‑verification system that transforms a text prompt into typed physical obligations and a statically validated execution plan before any video frames are generated. During execution, it gates calls to frozen low‑level experts (segmentation, tracking, counting, depth, OCR, audio‑event detection, etc.) and records provenance‑carrying evidence for each action. The system maps these records to a three‑valued state—supported, contradicted, or unknown—providing traceable verdicts that can be used to refine generation models.

FLY-EVAL++ is an evidence-driven evaluation protocol designed for safety-constrained flight prediction with large language models. It combines deterministic verification of protocol compliance, physical feasibility, and safety constraints, then aggregates results into interpretable multi-dimensional scores. Applied to Flight Trajectory and Attitude Prediction, the protocol reveals that safety compliance is the most discriminative metric, with models of similar predictive accuracy differing by over 28 points in safety score and exhibiting recurrent safety violations and instability in multi-step rollouts.

Think Before You Act: Decision Gate for LLM Agents

The paper introduces JevAct, a runtime verification framework that intercepts selected actions of large language model (LLM) agents before execution. JevAct compiles domain policies into executable state checks and uses a prefill-only decision model to provide probability‑based judgments, enabling feedback‑driven correction without modifying the underlying agent. Evaluations on eleven LLM agents across Airline, Telecom, and BFCL benchmarks show that JevAct improves agent reliability, especially on Telecom and BFCL tasks.

Runtime Control for AI Agents: Closing the Evaluation--Execution Gap in Operational Workflows

The paper introduces a runtime assurance layer for language‑model agents operating in operational workflows, addressing the evaluation–execution gap where approvals may become invalid after changes in facts, evidence, policy, or authority. The proposed state‑bound configuration separates probabilistic measurement from deterministic adjudication, binds execution allowances to the basis of an approval, invalidates them upon logged changes, and rechecks admissibility at dispatch. In a scripted 42‑case replay, the approach identified 15 later‑invalidated approvals that a non‑re‑evaluating comparator missed, holding 14 affected actions before dispatch and compensating one landed effect.

VeriPhy: Agentic Physical Reasoning for World Model Evaluation and Refinement

VeriPhy is an auditable physical‑verification system that evaluates generated video by compiling prompts into typed physical obligations and a statically validated execution plan before any frames are observed. During execution, it gates calls to frozen low‑level experts (e.g., segmentation, tracking, counting, depth, OCR, audio‑event detection) and returns provenance‑carrying evidence records, which are mapped to a three‑valued state (supported, contradicted, unknown) with full traceability. On a 1,500‑clip corpus of human‑annotated flaw records, VeriPhy accounts for 228 failures out of 304, outperforming a published question‑decomposition evaluator that accounts for 164, while also providing auditable evidence for each verdict.
