  • Patent number: 10908292
    Abstract: The system for aiding the landing of an aircraft on a landing runway of an airport equipped with an Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) corresponding to an axis of a predetermined approach, includes: an ILS signals receiver and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to, when the ILS signals receiver) has not yet captured a Glide signal corresponding to a Glide axis of the approach as a function of items of information relating to the predetermined approach, acquired from a database, determine a protection volume in which there is no risk of the ILS signals receiver detecting a replica of the Glide signal; and when a current position of the aircraft is above the protection volume, inhibit the capture of the Glide signal by the ILS signals receiver and instruct the emission of an alert item of information in the cockpit of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 10627833
    Abstract: A device for managing configurations of an aircraft between an initial point and a final point comprises a computation module to determine at least one first evolution curve considering the aircraft to have assumed a first configuration and wherein the first evolution curve includes the first point and a final evolution curve considering the aircraft to have assumed at least one final configuration and wherein the final evolution curve or curves includes the final point, a computation module to compute at least one second point corresponding to the intersection of the first evolution curve or curves and the final evolution curve or curves, and a transmission module configured to transmit a signal representing the coordinates of the second point or points to a user device.

  • Patent number: 10274968
    Abstract: A device including an acquisition module for acquiring current parameters of the aircraft, a computational module for computing a current load factor of the aircraft, a computational module for computing a minimum load factor, a computational module for computing the difference between the current load factor and the minimum load factor, and an acoustic emission module for emitting a sound signal, the level of which increases gradually as a function of time when the difference between the current load factor and the minimum load factor is less than zero.

  • Patent number: 10082799
    Abstract: A method and device for assisting initiation of a flare maneuver of an aircraft during a landing. The device includes an acquisition unit for acquiring current values of flight parameters of the aircraft, including the current height of the aircraft with respect to the ground, a computation unit for computing a first reference height and a second reference height, corresponding to a height starting from which the aircraft attains a current start of flare height while maintaining its current descent conditions over a predetermined first duration and over a predetermined second duration respectively, and an acoustic emission unit for emitting at least two sound signals in the cockpit of the aircraft, namely a first sound signal when the current height of the aircraft attains the first reference height during the descent and a second sound signal when the current height of the aircraft attains the second reference height during descent.

  • Patent number: 8265802
    Abstract: A method of determining a dynamic stability margin MSD of an aircraft includes calculating the longitudinal position XMP of a maneuver point MP to find the distance between the maneuver point and the position XCG of the aircraft center of gravity CG, as a function of the angular velocity ?O of an incidence oscillation of the aircraft. A device for determining the dynamic stability margin MSD or a position XMP of the maneuver point MP includes means or acquisition of data and or calculating a dynamic stability margin. The means receive data for generating, the aircraft mass m and pitch inertia Iyy; the flight speed V; the angular velocity ?O of the incidence oscillation at a flight point; a coefficient C*? representing Cz? of a “quasi-static” model of the aircraft. The aircraft flight control laws may be adapted according to the stability margin and to XMP.

  • Publication number: 20090043432
    Abstract: A method of determining a dynamic stability margin MSD of an aircraft, the longitudinal position XMP of a maneuver point MP is calculated, in order to find the distance between the maneuver point and the position XCG of the center of gravity CG of the aircraft, as a function of the fluctuation ?0 of an incidence oscillation of the aircraft, this pulsation being measured during the flight of the aircraft. A device able to determine the dynamic stability margin MSD or a position XMP of the maneuver point MP includes means of acquisition of data and of calculating the dynamic stability margin. The first means receive data for generating, the mass m and the pitch inertia Iyy of the aircraft; the flight speed V*i the fluctuation ?0 of the incidence oscillation at the flight point in question; a coefficient C*? representing Cz? of a “quasi-static” model of the aircraft. The flight control laws of the aircraft are, if necessary, adapted according to the stability margin and to XMP.
