  • Method and system for ensuring the reliability of data used to pilot an aircraft
    Patent number: 5335177
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems for piloting aircraft. Equations of the movements of the aircraft are used for computing, in a computer, of the first and second derivatives parameters V.sub.p, .PHI..sub.v, .sigma..sub.a, .beta..sub.v, .alpha., .PHI..sub.v, .sigma..sub.a, .beta..sub.v, of the parameters V.sub.p, .PHI..sub.v, .sigma..sub.a, .beta..sub.v, .alpha. of the movement of the aircraft, and the values thus computed are compared with those computed by means of the values of said parameters V.sub.p, .PHI..sub.v, .sigma..sub.a, .beta..sub.v, .alpha. at the instants t, (t+dt) and (t+2dt). An alarm signal (circuit 23) is generated if equality is not verified to a given precision.
