Abstract: A simulation testing architecture can be applied to an aircraft monitoring system for an aircraft that includes complex algorithms (such as machine learning algorithms) for sensing objects around the aircraft and controlling the aircraft to avoid such objects. A reference scenario is selected from a plurality of stored scenarios based on a desired set of aircraft safety standards. A stochastic process is applied to generate a large number of conditional variations within a simulated environment, varying weather, objects in the airspace, points of failure, and the like to provide a representative sample of possible aircraft missions and encounters within the selected reference scenario. Synthetic environmental inputs are fed into the aircraft monitoring system software, and the resultant actions of the software are logged. These logs can be used to generate metrics on an encounter-level basis, a scenario-level basis, or across a population of scenarios.

Abstract: An airport approach assistance system for aircraft includes a controller including electronic circuitry configured to: obtain a first image captured by a camera configured to capture images of a field of view ahead of the aircraft; obtain a second image stored in a database representing a runway where the aircraft is supposed to land; make changes to the first image and/or to the second image, in order to transpose them into a same spatial reference frame; extract a first region of interest from the first image, so as to isolate a landing area; compare the extracted first region of interest with a second region of interest associated with the second image; and generate a signal according to a comparison result. Thus, a pilot of the aircraft is assisted in confirming that the landing takes place on the expected landing runway.

Abstract: A display management system is provided for displaying a graphical representation of flight envelope information of an aircraft. Included in the display management system is a control module being coupled to the display management system and programmed to control the graphical representation including at least one flight envelope protection attribute. A signal detection module receives signals from a plurality of sensors of the aircraft, and the received signals include associated parameter values for the at least one flight envelope protection attribute. A protection selection module selects the at least one flight envelope protection attribute based on the received signals and parameter values. A display module displays the at least one flight envelope protection attribute on a display screen in relation to a flight control law state stored in a database using a display model of the aircraft from an elevational view based on the received signals and parameter values.
