  • Patent number: 6000662
    Abstract: A flying aid device for a fly-by-wire aircraft which has at least two mechanically independent control columns (M1, M2). The device (1) includes: a system (SO) for detecting multiple control corresponding to simultaneous operation of at least two of the control columns (M1, M2); and informing systems (S1, S2, S3, S4), each of which is associated with one of the control columns (M1, M2) and is intended to generate within the control column (M1, M2), when the detection system (SO) detects multiple control, a tactile sensation that informs a pilot of the aircraft who is operating the control column (M1, M2) of the multiple control.
