Patent number: 8996201Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed for exchanging data between a technical management system of an aircraft and a mission management system of the aircraft, in order to permit one of the systems to determine the consequences of an event detected in the other of the systems. After at least one event has been detected in one of the technical management and mission management systems of the aircraft, at least one information item pertaining to the detected event is transmitted to the other of the technical management and mission management systems of the aircraft. The consequences of the event detected in the other of the technical management and mission management systems of the aircraft are then determined. The adaptation of at least one datum of the other of the technical management and mission management systems of the aircraft is evaluated in response to the determination.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2009Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventor: Jean-Sebastien Vial
