Abstract: This method for managing the display of a field map for an aircraft is implemented by an electronic device and comprising the following steps: acquiring a reference altitude of the aircraft, using an automatic mode in which the reference altitude depends on a current altitude of the aircraft or a manual mode in which the reference altitude depends on an altitude value entered by a user via an entry interface; determining cartographical element(s) based on the reference altitude; and generating the field map. During the acquisition step, the manual mode is activated if an interaction by the user with the entry interface is detected, and the automatic mode is activated if no interaction with said interface is detected, and this step includes switching to the automatic mode if a switching condition is met.

Abstract: This method of managing the display of an aeronautical map from cartographical data is implemented by an electronic management device and comprises the following steps: acquiring a display scale of the map; determining a set of symbol(s) representative of obstacle(s) to be displayed, the obstacle(s) being included in the cartographical data, where: if the distance between two obstacles is greater than a visible distance threshold that depends on the display scale, two separate symbols are determined for these obstacles, each being representative of a respective obstacle, and if the distance between two obstacles is less than or equal to the visible distance threshold, a symbol representative of a grouping of obstacles is determined for these obstacles.

Abstract: This method for managing the display of a flight profile of an aircraft is implemented by an electronic management device.It comprises computing a reference altitude for the display of a vertical flight profile; determining a range of altitudes for the display of said vertical profile, the range of altitudes being determined as a function of the computed reference altitude, the reference altitude being computed as a function of a current altitude, an altitude interval to be displayed and at least one property relative to an estimated evolution of the altitude of the aircraft from said current altitude.

Abstract: A method of displaying data for the management of the flight of an aircraft includes the steps consisting in receiving the selection of an object on a display screen present in the cockpit of the aircraft; determining one or more flight commands associated with the selected object; selecting at least one flight command from among the one or more determined flight commands; generating a display panel comprising a plurality of display tiles, one of the tiles displaying data associated with the selected object and another tile displaying the flight command selected. Developments describe the updating of the panel as a function of a revision of the flight plan, the displaying of attributes of a flight command, conditional display modifications, modalities of unfurling or of folding of the display tiles, the taking into account of the visual density of display, the use of display rules, in particular as a function of flight context.

Abstract: A method for enriching an obstacle database of an aircraft, the method being implemented by an on-board computer of the aircraft, and includes a creation phase performed on board the aircraft, involving a simple interaction between the pilot and a system of the cockpit, for creating an intermediate object representative of a user obstacle, the user obstacle being an obstacle identified by the pilot and not listed in the obstacle database of the aircraft, the intermediate object being created with a geographical position as its sole attribute; and a subsequent phase performed on board the aircraft, consisting in: adding type attributes characterizing the user obstacle to the intermediate object; and storing the user obstacle with the added attributes in a non-volatile memory of a module of the cockpit of the aircraft.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the orientation of the display of an aeronautical chart, notably towards Magnetic North or True North are provided. Rotational and/or translational tactile movements may manage the display of the chart. In one advantageous embodiment, the display screen is a haptic feedback screen (for example piezoelectric or MEMS microactuators), the North symbol rendered in relief is able to be manipulated with a single finger and the display device is stabilized by at least partially compensating for the turbulence experienced by the cockpit. Some software aspects are described.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of aircraft cockpit viewing systems including a piece of human-machine interfacing equipment, a piece of data processing equipment and a viewing device. The piece of data processing equipment comprises a database including a plurality of objects and means for computing various displaying windows, each object having a plurality of forms of graphical representation in said windows. The viewing device is arranged to display the displaying windows. The piece of human-machine interfacing equipment includes means for selecting a state of graphical representation of an object in one of the windows. The states of graphical representation of the objects include a “selected” state. When the selection of a state of graphical representation of an object is effective, the computing means of the piece of processing equipment switch all of the various graphical representations of said object in the various windows to this “selected” state.
