20130231804 | DEVICE FOR DISPLAY AND CONTROL OF SETPOINTS FOR AUTOMATIC PILOTING FOR AIRCRAFT - The general field of the invention is that of devices for display and control of setpoints for automatic piloting for aircraft, configured to display the setpoints of speed, heading, climb slope and altitude. The various setpoints are displayed in the form of a graphical representation comprising: wheels graduated in speed and in altitude indicating the aircraft setpoint values; a circular heading rose, graduated and centred on a first symbol representing the aircraft, the heading setpoint being indicated by a second symbol representing the heading to be followed by the aircraft and disposed around the perimeter of the heading rose; and a vertical sectional view comprising a graduated semicircle centred on a third symbol representing the aircraft, the slope setpoint being indicated by a fourth symbol representing the slope to be followed by the aircraft and disposed around the perimeter of the semicircle. | 09-05-2013 |
20130268878 | METHOD FOR THE TEMPORAL DISPLAY OF THE MISSION OF AN AIRCRAFT - The general field of the invention is that of methods for displaying the steps of a mission or of a flight plan of an aircraft on a screen of a display device. The different steps of the method are displayed in a first graphical window comprising a time scale or “timeline”, the different steps being displayed opposite the schedule corresponding to their accomplishment. This window can be associated with a cartographic view of the flight plan. It can comprise a “magnifier” function. | 10-10-2013 |
20140033107 | METHOD FOR DISPLAYING THE GEOGRAPHICAL SITUATION OF AN AIRCRAFT - The general field of the invention is that of methods for displaying the geographical situation of an aircraft in flight on a visual display device. The geographical situation comprises a cartographic representation of the terrain flown over by the aircraft. Said geographical situation comprises two main display modes, known as “Arc” and “Rose”. The switch from the first mode to the second mode is made at least by means of a first step of selecting a model representing the position of the aircraft at the current time and arranged in the first mode and a second step of moving said model towards the position occupied in the second mode. The movement of the model causes the movement of the cartographic representation of the terrain being flown over, the steps of selection and movement being accomplished using a human-machine interface, which can be a graphic cursor control device or a touch-sensitive interface. | 01-30-2014 |
20140074323 | METHOD FOR MODIFYING AN AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PLAN ON A TOUCH-SENSITIVE SCREEN - The general area of the invention is that of methods for managing flight plans by an avionic system comprising a visualization device and a touch-sensitive interface. The visualization device displays a cartographic representation of the terrain flown over, aeronautical data and a flight plan composed of a set of segments connecting together certain aeronautical waypoints. The management method contains several steps, a first editing step activated by touch-sensitive designating of any point of the flight plan, a second modification of the flight plan step activated by a touch-sensitive movement, the end of the touch-sensitive movement triggering a movement or an addition or the removal of a waypoint. The method also makes it possible to easily manage the airways in order to incorporate them into a flight plan during modification. | 03-13-2014 |
20140097291 | HOVER HOLD AID SYSTEM FOR A HELICOPTER - The general area of the invention is that of hover hold aid systems for helicopters. The system comprises navigation means; a helmet-mounted visualization system containing a helmet-mounted display incorporated in the pilot's helmet and means for generating symbols in said helmet-mounted display at fixed positions in relation to a terrestrial frame of reference, said symbols being displayed in the angular field of display of the helmet-mounted display. When the helicopter has to home or stay in the vicinity of a predetermined position, the symbol generation means calculate a first and a second representation containing a first target and a second target referenced in said terrestrial frame of reference, the first target located in the direction of the homing course to the predetermined position, the second target located in a direction perpendicular to this same course. | 04-10-2014 |
20140132555 | METHOD FOR MAKING SECURE A CONTROL ON A VISUALIZATION DEVICE WITH A TACTILE SURFACE, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM - The general field of the invention is that of methods providing a secure control for an appliance by means of a visualization device having a tactile surface capable of detecting several simultaneous touches. The method according to the invention comprises:

20140156114 | METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN AERONAUTICAL FLIGHT PLAN COMPRISING A STEP OF FLIGHT DATA CONFIGURATION - The general field of the invention is that of methods of graphic representation, modification and validation of an aeronautical flight plan for an aircraft avionics system. The system comprises means for computing and generating said flight plan, a task management system, a visualization device displaying a graphic representation of said flight plan and a man-machine interface suitable for making selections, modifications or additions to the information contained in said graphic representation, said selections, modifications and additions being taken into account by the task management system, said graphic representation containing a timeline on which feature at least the various phases of the flight plan and the information corresponding to said phases. The method according to the invention contains a step of displaying at least one item of information depending on several parameters and the graphic representation of which depends on the level of available information about said parameters. | 06-05-2014 |
20140156115 | METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AN AERONAUTICAL FLIGHT PLAN COMPRISING A STEP OF DISPLAYING AND SELECTING THE TASKS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE A CHANGE OF FLIGHT PHASE - The general field of the invention is that of methods of graphical representation, modification and validation of an aeronautical flight plan for an aircraft avionics system. Said system comprises means for computing said flight plan, a system for managing the tasks necessary for the accomplishment of said flight plan, a visualization device displaying a graphical representation of said flight plan and a man-machine interface able to carry out selections, modifications or additions in the information contained in said graphical representation, said selections, modifications and additions being taken into account by the task management system. The graphical representation comprises a timeline on which feature at least the various phases of the flight plan and the corresponding information. The method comprises a step of displaying at least one first interactive graphical icon, representative of the overall state of progress of the tasks to be performed before a change of flight phase. | 06-05-2014 |
