Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a system for aircraft navigation along a predetermined airway, including an on-board navigation system supplying a positioning integrity of the aircraft during flight relative to said airway respecting an expected position precision performance level, and at least one on-board radio receiver on the aircraft suitable for communicating with at least one land-based radio beacon suitable for supplying a distance of the aircraft relative to said radio beacon. The system includes a module configured to obtain, from a current position of the aircraft and stored data, a tuple of radio beacons to be used, a module configured to obtain a distance measurement of the aircraft relative to each of the N radio beacons of said tuple, a module configured to compute an integrity position from distance measurements obtained by a predetermined computing method, and a module configured to use the computed integrity position as current integrity position.
Abstract:
An electronic monitoring device for monitoring at least one radionavigation signal during an approach phase to a landing runway, related monitoring method and computer program are disclosed. In one aspect, the each radionavigation signal is obtained from a reception chain on board an aircraft. The device includes a calculation module configured to calculate an angular displacement value in a reference plane, a comparison module configured to compare the angular displacement value with the corresponding radionavigation signal, and a warning module to generate a warning signal based on the comparison between the angular displacement value and the corresponding radionavigation signal. The calculation module is configured to calculate the angular displacement value as a function of a magnitude relating to the aircraft course and glide path according to the monitored radionavigation signal, from avionics equipment independent from the reception chain.
