  • Patent number: 10748432
    Abstract: A piloting assistance system of a platform, and associated method are provided. The system includes a first detector for detecting a windshear able to generate a first alert that the platform is approaching a windshear zone; a second detector for detecting a windshear able to generate a second alert indicating the presence of the platform in the windshear zone; and a guider of the platform. The guider is able to automatically select a first guidance mode when a first alert is generated by the first detector, and to automatically select at least one second guidance mode different from the first guidance mode when a second alert is generated by the second detector. The system includes an information device able to display unified windshear alert information and/or unified information for implementation of a guidance mode, shared by the first alert and the second alert.

  • Publication number: 20170291691
    Abstract: An assistance method for assisting flying of an aircraft with restriction of possibilities of adjusting the flying parameters depending on the context, and corresponding device are provided. The assistance method for assisting flying of an aircraft includes the steps of: configuring at least one flying mode, the configuration comprising selecting a flying mode selected from among an available flying mode and entering at least one flying setpoint associated with the selected flying mode, presenting the or each configured flying mode, engaging at least one configured flying mode, and flying of the aircraft by an automatic pilot system of the aircraft based on the flying setpoint of the or each engaged flying mode. The method also includes a step for collecting at least one avionics parameter representative of a flying context, and a step for restricting configuration possibilities of the flying modes based on the or each collected avionics parameter.

  • Patent number: 9729226
    Abstract: A communication system for an aircraft with an external assembly and related method are provided. The system includes a unit for receiving incoming text messages, received from the outside assembly, and sending outgoing text messages, sent to the outside assembly; a display screen and a display management station, the display management station being able to display, on the display screen, a synthesis window showing a series of incoming text messages and/or outgoing text messages, each text message containing operating information about the aircraft. The display management station is able to display, in the synthesis window, an execution status indicator for an action to be performed remaining to be executed, associated with the incoming text message and/or the outgoing text message, in addition to the operating information of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 9567098
    Abstract: The system includes additional display means including at least one additional screen and additional graphic interface handling means of the additional screen (able to display on the additional screen, a summary window depending on the operational state of the aircraft. The summary window comprises at least one first pictogram able to be displayed on a first display window of main display means of the aircraft without being displayed on the second window of the main display means, and at least one second pictogram intended to be displayed on the second display window of the main display means without being displayed on the first window of the main display means.
