Abstract: The device, intended for air traffic controllers and for assisting the tracking of aircraft ascents and descents, includes: a means for receiving data transmitted by an aircraft, said data including at least the spatial position of the aircraft and requests that are optionally transmitted by the crew; a display making it possible to display the path of a moving aircraft with a view to returning to a first altitude; and a means for giving the aircraft crew permission to reach a second altitude. The device includes an alarm manager that is configurable according to at least one aircraft flight condition calculated on the basis of the first altitude, thus enabling transmission of an alarm at a point in time when the condition is fulfilled.

Abstract: The invention applies particularly to the method and device for displaying forecasts on the flight plan of an aircraft. The method includes representing the craft by a first symbol in its current position and by a second symbol in its future position, modifying the position of the second symbol on the navigation plan in order to change it to a future position, displaying on the viewing screen the first symbol and at the same time the second symbol representing the craft on the navigation plan in a future position and displaying on the viewing screen the navigation data at the instant of the future position of the craft.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for aiding the identification and control of aircraft that are present in an air sector to be monitored. The system includes a voice recognition means for analysing oral communications exchanged between the air-traffic controller and the pilots of aircraft present in the air sector, and a management means for making a comparison between data delivered by the voice recognition means and stored identifiers representative of respective aircraft expected to be present in the air sector.

Abstract: A calculation system is disclosed having a pointing means. A display device presents the control interface of the system for the operator and the system triggering functions carries out a series of automation aids. The calculation system recovers the information descriptive of the automation aids programmed by the system while carrying out a function. The calculator system includes a means for displaying this information in a dialog area of the control interface of the function and has a direct access for the operator to the configuration of the parameters of the automation aids in the system. The invention applies to any complex automated system and finds a particularly beneficial application in respect of aircraft flight management systems.

Abstract: The invention applies particularly to the method and device for displaying forecasts on the flight plan of an aircraft. The method according to the invention consists in representing the craft by a first symbol in its current position and by a second symbol in its future position, in modifying the position of the second symbol on the navigation plan in order to change it to a future position, in displaying on the viewing screen the first symbol and at the same time the second symbol representing the craft on the navigation plan in a future position and in displaying on the viewing screen the navigation data at the instant of the future position of the craft.
