Abstract:
An assistance method for assisting flying of an aircraft with restriction of possibilities of adjusting the flying parameters depending on the context, and corresponding device are provided. The assistance method for assisting flying of an aircraft includes the steps of: configuring at least one flying mode, the configuration comprising selecting a flying mode selected from among an available flying mode and entering at least one flying setpoint associated with the selected flying mode, presenting the or each configured flying mode, engaging at least one configured flying mode, and flying of the aircraft by an automatic pilot system of the aircraft based on the flying setpoint of the or each engaged flying mode. The method also includes a step for collecting at least one avionics parameter representative of a flying context, and a step for restricting configuration possibilities of the flying modes based on the or each collected avionics parameter.
Abstract:
A system for assisting in a dispatch decision of an aircraft and related process are provided. The system includes a synthesis module, configured to generate at least one dispatch status for the aircraft, based on at least one defect and/or fault datum of the aircraft received from the acquisition module and at least data contained in a first database and in a second minimum equipment list database; and a display, configured to display at least one synthesis window containing at least one defect and/or fault identification indicator of the aircraft developed from the or each defect and/or fault datum, and at least one dispatch status indicator based on the dispatch status determined by the synthesis module.
Abstract:
A device for displaying flight characteristics of an aircraft is provided. The device includes a display for the selective display of flight characteristics of an aircraft, as a function of a state of credibility assigned to measurements from static pressure, total pressure and angle-of-attack sensors, configured for selectively displaying a primary set of flight characteristics comprising at least one flight characteristic coming from a measurement from one of said sensors, when the measurements from said sensors are deemed reliable, and a secondary set of flight characteristics, distinct from said primary set, comprising at least one secondary flight characteristic designed to replace a counterpart flight characteristic from the primary set, when the measurements from at least one sensor are deemed unreliable, said secondary flight characteristic being independent of any measurement by the or each sensor deemed unreliable done when the measurements from that sensor are deemed unreliable.
Abstract:
A communication method between an embedded communication system of an aircraft and a communication device is provided. The method includes a step for establishing a communication between the embedded communication system and the communication device, done according to a communication parameter associated with the communication device, contained in a memory of a communication terminal. The establishment step includes a phase for establishing a first auxiliary communication between terminal and the communication system, a phase for establishing a second auxiliary communication between the terminal and the communication device, according to the communication parameter, and a phase for transferring the second auxiliary communication from the terminal toward the communication system.
Abstract:
A display system of an aircraft, able to display a horizon line able to be deformed and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, able to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line and a slope scale relative to the horizon line. Upon approaching a landing strip, the display generator is able to create, on the horizon line, a region that is deformed as a function of the topographical slope of the landing strip approached by the aircraft.
Abstract:
A system for controlling the position of a movable object on a viewing device in an aircraft cockpit, which can be actuated by an operator includes means for determining, at least at one given moment, a position of a target zone on said viewing device toward which the operator's gaze is directed, and positioning means adapted for placing the object on the target zone of the viewing device.
Abstract:
A retractable support for a screen, and interior layout assembly for an aircraft cabin comprising such a support are provided. The retractable support for a screen includes a housing for receiving the screen in a retracted position, and an arm movably mounted relatively to the housing between a retracted position inside the housing and a deployed position outside the housing. The arm includes first and second rigid segments jointed with each other so that the second segment pivots relatively to the first segment around a first pivot axis between a compact configuration, in which the second segment is fitted into a recess of the first segment, and an extended configuration, in which the second segment extends out of said recess.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a failure of at least one sensor onboard an aircraft implementing wind detection is provided. The method includes measuring an airspeed of the aircraft; measuring a geographical speed of the aircraft; determining an instantaneous wind vector, based on the measured airspeed and geographical speed; establishing an instantaneous wind variation vector, based on the determined instantaneous wind vector; projecting the instantaneous wind variation vector on the direction of the vector of an air or geographical speed of the aircraft; and determining the presence of a failure based on the obtained projection.
Abstract:
A piloting assistance system for an aircraft during manual piloting is provided. The piloting assistance system includes a monitoring module, configured to compare an acceleration of the aircraft to an authorized acceleration that depends on a speed of the aircraft, an acceleration control module, able to be switched between an activated state and a deactivated state, and configured so as, in the activated state, excluding the deactivated state, to generate a control signal of at least one control device of the acceleration of the aircraft to push the acceleration of the aircraft toward the authorized acceleration range, in order to keep or push the speed of the aircraft in a predefined usage speed range, the monitoring module being configured to activate the acceleration control module when the acceleration of the aircraft is not comprised in the authorized acceleration range.
Abstract:
A protective method is provided against torque peaks between a motor adapted for setting a shaft of the motor into rotation and an electric source adapted for electrically powering an electric assembly and including a fixed section and a rotating adapted for rotating with the shaft. The method includes a step for controlling the operation of the electric source forcing the rotary movement of the rotating section with the shaft to observe an instruction relating to the torque of the rotating section applied to the shaft of the motor, the instruction being adapted depending on at least one element characterizing a current operating state of the motor.
