  • Patent number: 8984416
    Abstract: The invention is situated in the field of displaying on board an aircraft geostationary elements of the navigation database on a screen having different display resolutions for the purpose of this data display, and its subject is a method for simplifying the display of stationary elements of this onboard database. This method is characterized in that it consists in precalculating a “decluttering” during the process of producing the onboard database by meshing the Earth with a Cartesian grid oriented along the latitudes and longitudes of the Earth, and by allowing only the most pertinent obstacle to appear in each rectangle of this grid.

  • Publication number: 20140359564
    Abstract: The invention relates to onboard failure warning management systems on aircraft, or flight warning systems (FWS). Traditionally, the logic of these systems refers to procedures to be executed by the crew in response to warnings. Modifications, however minor, to the procedures involve a new development that can be installed on the airplane computer only as part of a costly maintenance procedure, given notably the need to carry out exhaustive tests on the application. The invention introduces the concept of tasks defined by a set of variables, notably the warning and the procedure in which the task is executed, its category, its priority level and its status. Thus, the computer programs can be organized in modules that call the tasks to be executed, the parameters of said tasks being defined in a configuration table that can be updated as the procedures change during simple operation maintenance procedures.

  • Patent number: 8897934
    Abstract: Described is a method of protecting an aircraft in approach by signalling against risks of collision with a terrain in steep-sided environments in order to avoid unwanted warnings emanating from clearance sensors of the on-board TAWS (Terrain Awareness and Warning System) while protecting the aircraft when the aircraft fails to observe a published procedure which includes a landing procedure and a take-off procedure. The method, in some embodiments, includes modifying characteristics of at least one of the clearance sensors according to the position deviation of the aircraft relative to a published RNP (Required Navigation Performance) trajectory.
