  • Patent number: 11790796
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a position error of an aircraft. The system comprises a set of collection modules implemented in an iterative manner, including an offset collection module, a position vector collection module, a set of sequentially implemented computation modules, including an angular alignment bias computation module, an observable position bias computation module and a position error computation module. The system thus allows a position error to be determined that is used to perform a landing in good conditions.

  • Patent number: 11747170
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating an angular deviation from a reference guidance axis, a position and a velocity of an aircraft. The system includes an offset collection module for collecting an offset measured by a measurement module, a position vector collection module for collecting a position vector measured by a position vector measurement module, a velocity vector collection module, a module for estimating the angular deviation of a reference guidance axis with respect to the approach axis towards the runway, for estimating the position of the aircraft with respect to the runway and for estimating the velocity of the aircraft with respect to the runway.
