  • Publication number: 20250042562
    Abstract: A method for the selective modification of position information for a throttle lever. The method is implemented by a device configured to receive position information representing a current position of the throttle lever. The method includes determining that a predefined situation is encountered when a flight condition associated with the predefined situation is verified, and obtaining, for each encountered predefined situation, a category, a duration and an expected position of the throttle lever. The method includes modifying the received position information by replacing it with the expected position, when the flight condition and a validity condition of the category are simultaneously verified for said obtained duration, and sending the modified position information in the event of a modification to a control device of the propulsion engine. Thus, it is possible to automatically influence the thrust of the engine when required by the situation.

  • Patent number: 8918264
    Abstract: A method and device aids in monitoring at least one turbine engine in an aircraft. The method includes determining a value illustrating a thermomechanical state of the turbine engine, and comparing the determined value with at least one threshold. The method also includes displaying in the cockpit of the aircraft, at least one indication related to the operation of the turbine engine, according to this comparison. As a result, conditions that could result in mechanical degradation or failure of the turbine engine are identified for a crew of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 8660771
    Abstract: A method for detecting the opening of a thrust reverser for a jet engine of an aircraft is disclosed. According to the method, an operating parameter of the turbojet (1) is determined being responsive to the opening of a mobile element (2a, 2b) of the thrust reverser and reacting to such an opening by a sudden variation of the value thereof, the parameter is measured continuously and the mobile element (2a, 2b) is considered as being opened when the sudden variation is detected.

  • Publication number: 20120316748
    Abstract: The device includes means for determining a value illustrating a thermomechanical state (ET) of the turbine engine, means for comparing this value with at least one threshold (S1, S2) and means for displaying in the cockpit of the aircraft, at least one indication (I1 to I3) related to the operation of the turbine engine, according to this comparison.
