Abstract: A system for managing advertisements in an in-flight entertainment (“IFE”) system operating on an airplane can include an inventory processing device and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-transitory computer readable medium can be communicatively coupled to the inventory processing device to cause the inventory processing device to perform operations. The operations can include determining an inventory of targeted advertisements for future flights. The operations can further include receiving a request to use a portion of the inventory for advertisements associated with an advertiser. The operations can further include transmitting instructions to an IFE controller on-board the airplane to cause the IFE controller to provide the advertisements during targeted advertisement opportunities during a flight.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of head viewing systems for aircraft comprising a head support, a viewing device, a detection of posture of said head support, means for detecting the current heading of an aircraft and means for graphically generating said heading. The system according to the invention comprises means of control, display and selection of headings arranged so as: to display, in response to a first command, a second so-called setpoint heading and a third heading termed a “support heading” corresponding to the direction of the head support in a terrestrial reference frame, said direction given by the information arising from the detection of posture of said head support and the means for detecting the current heading; to replace, in response to a second command, said second heading by said third heading, said third heading thus becoming the new heading setpoint.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of headset viewing systems comprising at least one headset equipped with a viewing device and a system for detecting posture of said headset with respect to a known reference frame. The viewing system according to the invention comprises a documentary data base and means for displaying and managing said documentary data as a function of the posture of the headset.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of avionics systems intended to be used on aircraft in flight above a terrain. The avionics system comprises a display system and a navigation system. The display system comprises a head support equipped with a display device capable of generating images overlaid on said terrain, and a system for detecting posture of said helmet. The display system according to the invention comprises means for displaying a marking symbol in the display device, said symbol determining a given direction. The navigation system comprises geolocation means for said aircraft, a database of cartographic data representative of said terrain and computation means making it possible to determine the location of the area of the terrain arranged at the intersection of said given direction with said terrain, and means for recording and processing said location in the navigation system.

Abstract: A navigation aid information display device of an aircraft and primary flight display for an aircraft are disclosed. In one aspect, the navigation aid information display system includes a display screen including at least one first display area configured to display a first altitude scale including graduations, the current altitude of the aircraft on the first scale, and set altitude value. The graduations of the first scale are distributed on an arc of a first disc including a first needle centered in the disc and the first needle is configured to indicate the current altitude on the first scale. The distribution of the graduations on the arc is nonlinear and symmetrical relative to a graduation corresponding to the set altitude value and defines extension graduations decreasing from the set altitude value.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
