20080198041 | METHOD OF PROCESSING TOPOGRAPHIC DATA IN REAL TIME IN AN AIRCRAFT, IN ORDER TO DISPLAY SAID DATA - The field of the invention is that of the display in map form of an operating zone of an aircraft on a screen, and more particularly a method of processing topographic data of this operating zone of an aircraft in real time, based on a calculation of radials (R) centred on a reference point (O) defining an angular segment of topographic data. According to the invention, the method includes a subdivision of the operating zone to be mapped into a plurality of angular segment sections, each forming an individual zone ( | 08-21-2008 |
20080306639 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR FILTERING TERRAIN AN OBSTACLE ANTI-COLLISION ALERTS FOR AIRCRAFT - The present invention relates to a device and methods for filtering anti-collision alerts for aircraft having a locating system charting the position of the aircraft and estimating the precision of its position. A navigation system of the aircraft calculates at least the actual speed of the aircraft, the speed instruction and a first deviation between the instruction and the actual speed, and the deviation being compared with a first reference overshoot threshold. An anti-collision system generates alerts. An alarms manager of the aircraft centralizes the alerts transmitted by the terrain anti-collision equipment of the aircraft to the crew. The alerts each posses a coding of the danger level, and the danger levels form part of a first predetermined set. The alert filter according to the invention filters sets of alerts according to the coding of their danger level. | 12-11-2008 |
20090326741 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING TERRAIN ALTITUDES - The present invention relates to a method and a device for extracting terrain altitudes notably for a display of a sectional view of a terrain overflown by an aircraft. The device for extracting terrain altitudes along a trajectory ( | 12-31-2009 |
20100042273 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AIRCRAFT, FOR AVOIDING COLLISION WITH THE TERRAIN - This system accompanies the alarms of TAWS type and in particular the alarms of “Avoid terrain” type indicating to the pilot that he has passed the limit point of success of a standard vertical avoidance maneuver, indications ( | 02-18-2010 |
20100066565 | System for Scheduling Tasks to Control the Execution of Warning Procedures on an Aircraft - The invention relates to onboard failure warning management systems on aircraft, or flight warning systems (FWS). Traditionally, the logic of these systems refers to procedures to be executed by the crew in response to warnings. Modifications, however minor, to the procedures involve a new development that can be installed on the airplane computer only as part of a costly maintenance procedure, given notably the need to carry out exhaustive tests on the application. The invention introduces the concept of tasks defined by a set of variables, notably the warning and the procedure in which the task is executed, its category, its priority level and its status. Thus, the computer programs can be organized in modules that call the tasks to be executed, the parameters of said tasks being defined in a configuration table that can be updated as the procedures change during simple operation maintenance procedures. | 03-18-2010 |
20100204909 | Method for Aiding the Taxiing of an Aircraft - The invention relates to a method for aiding the taxiing of an aircraft comprising a plurality of onboard propulsion means and which is able to move over an airport zone according to at least one specific taxiing procedure making it possible to reduce fuel consumption, the method being characterized in that it implements the following steps during the phase of taxiing of the aircraft on an airport: | 08-12-2010 |
20120158277 | Method and System for Preparing the Taxiing Phase for an Aircraft in an Airport Area - A method and a system is provided for preparing the taxiing phase for an aircraft on the basis of an airport database cataloguing by section, the taxiways of an airport and storing, for each section, specific data of geographical position and of connectivity and of a taxiing plan for the aircraft indicating a succession of taxiway sections. The method comprises a step of detecting risk areas along the taxiing plan and a step of displaying the detected risk areas. | 06-21-2012 |
