  • Publication number: 20230286670
    Abstract: An aircraft display system includes a display; and a unit for generating display on the display, suitable for dynamically displaying on the display at least one horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector symbol. When approaching a landing strip, the display generating unit is suitable for displaying, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol, defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for the flare.

  • Publication number: 20200117315
    Abstract: A display device for displaying information relative to a flight by an aircraft is provided. The information includes information relative to an energy variation of the aircraft, the energy variation being expressed by a variable representative of that energy variation. The display device is configured to show, on a viewing screen, an energy variation symbol representative of a current value of the variable. The display device is configured to further show at least one energy variation bound symbol representative of a threshold value of the variable, the threshold value corresponding to an authorized acceleration bound for the aircraft to keep or bring the speed of the aircraft in or toward a predefined usage speed range.

  • Publication number: 20160379502
    Abstract: A display system of an aircraft, including a flare guiding cue and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, configured to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line, a slope scale of the aircraft relative to the horizon line, and a speed vector symbol, representative of the slope of the aircraft relative to the horizon line. The display generator is configured to display, upon approaching a landing strip, a flare guidance symbol, the position of the flare guidance symbol on the display unit depending on the topographical slope of the approached landing strip.

  • Publication number: 20160376027
    Abstract: A display system of an aircraft, able to display a horizon line able to be deformed and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, able to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line and a slope scale relative to the horizon line. Upon approaching a landing strip, the display generator is able to create, on the horizon line, a region that is deformed as a function of the topographical slope of the landing strip approached by the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20160272336
    Abstract: A piloting assistance system for an aircraft during manual piloting is provided. The piloting assistance system includes a monitoring module, configured to compare an acceleration of the aircraft to an authorized acceleration that depends on a speed of the aircraft, an acceleration control module, able to be switched between an activated state and a deactivated state, and configured so as, in the activated state, excluding the deactivated state, to generate a control signal of at least one control device of the acceleration of the aircraft to push the acceleration of the aircraft toward the authorized acceleration range, in order to keep or push the speed of the aircraft in a predefined usage speed range, the monitoring module being configured to activate the acceleration control module when the acceleration of the aircraft is not comprised in the authorized acceleration range.

  • Publication number: 20140148980
    Abstract: The method according to the invention comprise the following steps, dynamic measurement of the current geographical position of the aircraft, and its current ground speed, calculation of a first length representative of a flight phase of the aircraft, and calculation of a second length representative of a ground phase of the aircraft, calculation of the position of the stop point based on the first length, the second length and the current geographical position. The calculation of the first length comprises a phase for dynamically estimating a distance traveled by the aircraft during at least part of a flare phase of the aircraft.
