  • Patent number: 8965603
    Abstract: A method and a device for protecting an aircraft in the flight phase, said aircraft exhibiting several configurations of slats and flaps, comprises the following steps: determining, for at least one configuration of slats and flaps, of a limit angle of incidence beyond which the aircraft runs a risk of stalling, determining a gain factor as a function of the normal acceleration of the aircraft, comparing the current angle of incidence of the aircraft with the limit angle of incidence weighted by the gain factor, and, emission of an alert indicating that the aircraft runs a risk of stalling, if the current angle of incidence of the aircraft is greater than the limit angle of incidence weighted by the gain factor.

  • Patent number: 8467966
    Abstract: A device for aiding the flight management of an aircraft includes a navigation display, a personalized database capable of storing navigation-aid data, each datum comprising a classification type representative of a family or of one or more categories of navigation-aid data, one or more periods of validity of the said datum, information relating to at least one geographic zone of the said datum, one graphic and/or textual representation of the said datum, selection means allowing an operator to choose one (or more) type(s) of classification, called selected type(s), extraction means capable of extracting from the personalized database the navigation-aid datum or data called extracted data of which the type is equal to at least one selected type, of which at least one geographic zone is situated at a distance, from the flight plan or from the aircraft, that is less than a predetermined maximum distance and of which at least one period of validity verifies a predefined display time criterion, the said extractio
