  • Process for verifying the coherence between aircraft take-off parameters and an available runway length
    Patent number: 8380372
    Abstract: A method for verifying coherence of takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at a moment of takeoff comprises a step of identifying a takeoff runway and a step of validating takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane during an approach phase
    Patent number: 8014912
    Abstract: A method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane includes: (1) determining current values of flight parameters of the airplane, (2) determining, with the aid of the current values, an approach distance that corresponds to a distance in a horizontal plane between the current position of the airplane and a position of contact with the ground, and (3) presenting the approach distance on a screen.

  • PROCESS FOR VERIFYING THE COHERENCE BETWEEN AIRCRAFT TAKE-OFF PARAMETERS AND AN AVAILABLE RUNWAY LENGTH
    Publication number: 20100094488
    Abstract: A method for verifying the coherence of the takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at the moment of takeoff comprises a step (E20) of identifying a takeoff runway and a step (E30) of validating the takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway. Use to make takeoff of an aircraft from an airport safe.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AIDING THE PILOTING OF AN AIRPLANE DURING AN APPROACH PHASE
    Publication number: 20080140272
    Abstract: The device (1) comprises means (3) for determining the current values of flight parameters of the airplane, means (4) for determining, at least with the aid of said current values, an approach distance which corresponds to a distance in a horizontal plane between the current position of the airplane and a position of contact with the ground, and display means (6) for presenting this approach distance on a screen (8).
