    摘要: Systems and methods for managing the flight of an aircraft, include the steps of receiving data from recordings of the flight of an aircraft; the data comprising data from sensors and/or data from the onboard avionics; determining the aircraft state at a point N on the basis of the received data; determining the state of the aircraft at the point N+1 on the basis of the state of the aircraft at point N by applying a model learnt by means of machine learning. Developments describe the use of the flight parameters SEP, FF and N1; offline and/or online unsupervised machine learning, according to a variety of algorithms and neural networks. Software aspects are described.

    摘要: A method is provided for supporting flight operations of an aircraft in an airspace system. The method includes accessing a flight plan that indicates clearances that describe a planned route the aircraft is authorized to travel through the airspace system. The clearances are applied to an airborne navigation database to map the clearances to a sequence of procedural legs of procedures to be followed by the aircraft, the sequence of procedural legs including a sequence of position fixes and indicating leg types of the procedural legs. A ground track and vertical guidance for the aircraft are determined from the sequence of procedural legs, subject to rules and constraints of the clearances and the procedures. And a three-dimensional trajectory for the aircraft that follows the planned route, from the ground track and the vertical guidance is generated and output for use in guidance, navigation or control of the aircraft.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for inspecting navigation safety facilities by using a flight vehicle are disclosed. The method for inspecting navigation safety facilities by using a flight vehicle comprises the steps of: defining a three-dimensional flight path for a flight vehicle so that same passes through navigational safety facilities; receiving a navigation signal value from the navigation safety facilities and GPS data of the flight vehicle, the navigation signal value and the GPS data being measured by the flight vehicle automatically flying along the defined three-dimensional flight path; analyzing the navigation signal value so as to estimate the distance and the angle of the flight vehicle viewed from the navigation safety facilities; and inspecting the navigation safety facilities according to whether the coordinates of the flight vehicle identified by the GPS data are included in an area formed by the distance and the angle.
