Publication number: 20190173801Abstract: Described is a method for transmitting continuously created data items from an aircraft to a receiver. The data items are of a plurality of data types and each have a different priority. For each data type a live LIFO buffer and a main LIFO buffer are provided. In a regular operation mode continuously created data items are continuously stored in the main buffers. In a transmission operation mode continuously created data items are continuously stored in the live buffers, consecutive data packets are transmitted and for each data packet the data is selected from the buffers, wherein data items stored in live buffers are transmitted before data items stored in main buffers and data items of higher priorities are transmitted before data items of lower priorities. Further, a transmitter and an aircraft are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicant: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Uwe Bartels, Marcus Venzke, Maurice Girod, Maciej Mühleisen, Christoph Petersen

Patent number: 9828112Abstract: A method for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency is disclosed. The method includes determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic. For each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures a threshold is defined and each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures is only triggered if the determined risk level exceeds the threshold defined for the emergency measure. Further, a system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency and an aircraft comprising such a system are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Maurice Girod, Matthew Greaves, Uwe Bartels

Patent number: 9783318Abstract: A method for triggering a first emergency measure associated with an aircraft emergency comprising the steps of determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency and triggering the first emergency measure if the risk level exceeds a first threshold for the first emergency measure is described and claimed. The risk level is determined by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic. The first threshold is adjusted according to a position of the aircraft over ground. Furthermore, a system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a first emergency measure and an aircraft comprising such a system are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Maurice Girod, Matthew Greaves, Uwe Bartels
