Abstract:
A method and device for aiding piloting of an aircraft, during at least one flight phase including piloting steps. The device includes a unit for real-time acquisition of flight parameters of the aircraft, a calculation unit for calculating in real time with the parameters, for each of the piloting steps, a distance between current position of the aircraft and a position along a flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the corresponding piloting step. At least one display unit is provided for displaying, in real time, characteristic signs each illustrating one of the piloting steps, the characteristic signs being integrated into the environment viewed with the aid of the screen and being positioned so as to make it possible to locate a place of the environment along the flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the piloting step.
Abstract:
A device and system for transferring information from an avionics system of an aircraft to an independent computer. The device can be embedded onboard an aircraft for transferring information arising from an avionics system from the aircraft to a computer independent of the avionics system. The device includes at least one radiofrequency receiver configured to receive information which arises from the avionics system and is emitted destined for the ground or another aircraft, at least one transmitter, and a processing unit to command the transmission by the transmitter, to the computer, of at least some of the information received by the radiofrequency receiver.
Abstract:
A control system and method for an aircraft configured to operate according to a first mode of operation corresponding to an automatic piloting of the aircraft and a second mode of operation corresponding to a manual piloting of the aircraft, the system including a selection member. The system is configured to operate according to the first mode of operation when the selection member is not actuated continuously and to operate according to the second mode of operation when the selection member is actuated continuously.
