Abstract: A method and system for communicating and sharing information for an aircraft are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes identifying a situation from among a set of predetermined situations and obtaining, from a data structure recorded beforehand, a first set of information elements associated with the identified situation. The method also includes determining, from the first set of information elements, and from pieces of information recorded beforehand, a set of pieces of information unavailable in the first system and establishing at least one first request to be sent from the first system to at least one second system. The method further includes sending the at least one first request from the first system to the at least one second system.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program for providing, on a human-machine interface, data relating to an aspect of the operation of an aircraft and grouped into one and the same area of the interface, the method comprising the following steps. A step of detecting a request to display an aspect of the operation of the aircraft. The method also includes a step of computing a flight situation and generating a consolidated aeroplane situation. A step of associating the elementary data linked to the consolidated aeroplane situation to extract therefrom updated situational data. The method then includes a step of grouping the updated situational data into a plurality of sub-sets to allow display of the data in the display area. Finally the method includes a step of displaying, in the display area, the sub-sets of data.

Abstract: A method for managing the flight of an aircraft comprises the steps of determining a flight context; selecting, as a function of the flight context determined, one or more display parameters and displaying one or more graphically selectable labels on a representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft, the representation being displayed on at least one screen in the cockpit of the aircraft; receiving indication of the selection of one or more labels and, in response to the selection, modifying the display of the representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft. Developments describe the provision of documentary resources, the use of display parameters and/or rules (e.g. sites and priorities). System aspects (e.g. augmented and/or virtual reality for increasing the addressable display area, feedback loop by gaze tracking) as well as software aspects (control of visual density) are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a meteorological modelling method for calculating an aircraft flight plan, the aircraft comprising a communication means and a navigation management system. The method comprises at least the following steps: the communication means carries out the acquisition of meteorological prediction data related to waypoints in proximity to the nominal route in addition to the waypoints belonging to the nominal route, the navigation management system allocates by projection onto the current route of the aircraft the prediction data for the said waypoints not belonging to the current route, the navigation management system calculates the meteorological prediction data for the waypoints of the current route of the flight plan according to the prediction data allocated by projection onto the current route of the aircraft. The invention is a modelling method for aircraft navigation management systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for calculating a time window for a time constraint of arrival of an aircraft at a given point, the aircraft receiving wind predictions and including a sensor for measuring the wind. The method includes a calculation of a first time window, and the calculation of an overall confidence index having the determination of a first confidence index on the basis of a deviation between wind predictions and wind measurements performed by the aircraft, the calculation of a margin for the time constraint on the basis of the overall confidence index, and the calculation of a second window on the basis of the first time window and of the calculated margin.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the trajectory of an aircraft flying a climb circuit, of substantially helical form corresponding to a succession of racetracks, denoted HOLD, the last HOLD, called the exit HOLD, having predefined geometric characteristics and comprising a lock-on point, allowing the aircraft to enter and to exit in the HOLD, the aircraft attaining the setpoint altitude of the climb circuit during the flight of the exit HOLD, comprises at least three steps, including: a step of computing the prediction of the position of the aircraft when the setpoint altitude will be attained; a step of computing the remaining distance to be traveled, between the position of the aircraft when the setpoint altitude will be attained and the lock-on point; and a step making it possible to carry out an adaptation of the form of the exit HOLD so as to minimize the remaining distance to be traveled DELTA.
