  • Patent number: 11952109
    Abstract: A system for an aircraft comprising a controller configured to obtain a first piece of information regarding whether the aircraft has achieved lift-off; to obtain a second piece of information regarding whether the aircraft is in a flight phase in an initial part of lift-off; to determine, on the basis of at least the first piece of information whether the gear is retractable, and, if the gear is retractable in an initial part of the lift-off, to trigger a landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form, and, if the gear is retractable after the initial part of the lift-off to optionally trigger a second landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form. A method implemented by the system is provided. Advantageously, an omission of the retraction of the landing gear of an aircraft is notified to its flight crew.

  • Patent number: 8928497
    Abstract: A method monitors at least one avionic system connected to a communication medium that includes at least one active communication switch component. The method includes determining a state of the switch component and evaluating an indicator of a state of the communication medium from the state of the switch component and from a predetermined modeling of communication flows of the communication medium. The method also includes selecting and activating an alarm according to the evaluated state of the communication medium and according to a predetermined modeling of consequences of the evaluated state of the communication medium on a function of the at least one avionic system. A corresponding device and a method for determining conditions for alarm activation are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8510278
    Abstract: In the method of loading data on board an aircraft), a data set is loaded into on-board equipment of the aircraft, the data set comprising at least: a first version of a database that is identical to a version already in use in the aircraft; and a second version of the database. The database preferably relates to an aircraft warning system.

  • Publication number: 20100176972
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring avionics systems connected to a shared medium. A preliminary phase is aimed at determining the conditions of activation of each alarm of each avionics system connected to the communication medium. These conditions are related to each avionics system and to the state of the communication medium. The monitoring phase comprises a step of determining the state of the elements of the communication medium and a step (455) of evaluating an indicator of the state of the communication medium on the basis of the state of the elements of the communication medium and on the basis of a predetermined formal modelling of the communication streams of the communication medium. An alarm is selected and activated (470) depending on the evaluated state of the communication medium and depending on a predetermined modelling of the consequences of the evaluated state of the communication medium on the operation of the avionics systems.
