Abstract:
A programmable electronic computer embedded in an avionics environment on board an aircraft for implementing at least one critical function and associated electronic device, method and computer program are disclosed. In one aspect, the electronic computer includes at least one control module configured to implement a respective critical function and configured to deliver at least one output data item associated with the critical function, and at least one monitoring module of a control module of another electronic computer. Each monitoring module configured to implement the same respective critical function as the one implemented by the monitored control module.
