Publication number: 20250164282Abstract: Systems and methods useful in providing equivalent visual operation (EVO) for the flight crew of an aircraft independent of the actual outside weather and visibility conditions through the use of synthetic vision (SV) and enhanced vision (EV) technologies are described. The systems and methods described herein can contribute toward gaining an operational credit that can expand the operational capabilities of an aircraft. The systems and methods described herein can provide relatively simple and intuitive solutions for activating and operating such systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2025Publication date: May 22, 2025Inventors: Anthony J. BARBER, Nami BAE, Marc BERGERON, William Murray COLQUHOUN, Christopher MARTIN, Mark SCHLEGEL, Natalie W. WONG, Olivier LEBEGUE

Patent number: 11995993Abstract: A crew alerting system for a mobile platform includes a display device defining a display area, a processor operatively coupled to the display device, and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: upon receiving notification of an occurrence of a manual system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a first output for causing the display device to display a first indication in the display area, the first indication comprising a first textual message. The processor is further configured to, upon receiving notification of an occurrence of an automated system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a second output for causing the display device to display a second indication in the display area, the second indication comprising a second textual message accompanied by a supplemental indication such as a graphical indication.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: BOMBARDIER INC.Inventors: Marc Bergeron, Benoit Ouellette
