20090018713 | SYSTEM FOR AIDING THE TAXIING OF AN AIRCRAFT - The invention relates to an integrated system carried onboard the aircraft used during taxiing or air/ground and ground/air transitions whose final objective is assistance to the crew in collaboration with the ground control authority. The system groups together a set of devices for mapping | 01-15-2009 |
20100039295 | GUIDING AND TAXIING ASSISTANCE OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR AN AIRCRAFT HAVING A DEDICATED SYMBOLOGY - The invention pertains to optoelectronic devices for aiding the guidance and taxiing of aircraft, comprising a so-called head-up collimator allowing the presentation of information in the pilot's visual field. It applies notably to large-size civil aircraft of the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380 type. The optoelectronic device comprises means for calculating a deviation factor for the actual trajectory of said aircraft relative to a theoretical trajectory on said traffic way, means for generating symbols and at least one head-up collimator comprising means for displaying and superimposing said symbols on the outside landscape. The deviation factor is calculated on the basis of an angle (PÂ′G) and that the means for generating symbols generate a symbol representing said deviation factor, so as to be superimposed on said traffic way. | 02-18-2010 |
20100114922 | Method and System for Monitoring an Aircraft Taxiing Phase - The invention relates to the field of monitoring and aid to taxiing of an aircraft at an airport. | 05-06-2010 |
20110046868 | Aircraft Guidance System for Assisting in Airport Navigation - An aircraft guidance system for assisting in airport navigation includes: at least one airport database comprising topology data of an airport, called airport DB; at least one configuration database comprising aircraft configuration data and the position of a guidance point; a positioning system delivering aircraft kinematic and attitude parameters; at least one computer generating a 2D view of the representation of the airport notably comprising navigation indications and a representation of the aircraft; and at least one display for displaying the representation of the airport. In the system, a first symbol is generated on the display indicating the position of an early guidance point, corresponding to the position of the guidance point at a future time. | 02-24-2011 |
20110125400 | Methods of Generating a Connectivity Chart for Elements of an Airport for Assistance in Taxiing and Associated Devices - The method of generating a connectivity chart for elements of an airport that makes use of:

20110246003 | Approach Phase Monitoring System for an Aircraft - The invention relates to a monitoring system dedicated to the landing of an aircraft including means of receiving navigation data, means of receiving a plurality of landing area monitoring information, and display means representing, by various symbols, the landing area and the monitoring information, including means of determining a plurality of successive approach phases constituting the landing procedure and of signalling the current approach phase, means of calculating a plurality of cartographic scale factors of the landing area, and means of selecting monitoring information to be displayed for each approach phase. The display means represent the landing area according to a changing cartographic scale factor and the selected monitoring information by symbols that also change, the cartographic scale factor and the symbols changing automatically according to the current approach phase. | 10-06-2011 |
20110257873 | ONBOARD ASSISTANCE DEVICE FOR AIDING THE FOLLOWING OF AN AIRPORT ROUTE BY AN AIRCRAFT - A device for aiding the following of an airport route by an aircraft includes: an onboard system of optical sensors; means providing the current position of the aircraft; a database having topological information for the airport; a recognition system providing, on the basis of the video images arising from the system of optical sensors, data characteristics of the airport route portion, making it possible to identify a simple primitive representative of the route portion followed; and a processing computer. The processing computer extracts, from the database, a succession of simple geometric shapes representing the airport route and of the same nature as the primitives arising from the recognition system, compares the succession of shapes with the primitives, and validates or invalidates the route followed by the aircraft as a function of the result of the comparison. | 10-20-2011 |
20130166189 | ON-BOARD SYSTEM TO ASSIST THE TAXIING OF AN AIRCRAFT ON AIRPORT TAXIWAYS - The invention relates to an on-board optoelectronic system to assist the taxiing of an aircraft on the taxiways of an airport, that includes:
