  • Publication number: 20090184846
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a device and an item of equipment for filtering alarms originating from a windshear detection system embedded in an aircraft being able to emit an alarm. The aircraft has at least one sensor allowing the acquisition of a flight parameter. The device according to the invention includes: means (302), (402) for the calculation of the second derivative of the flight parameter, means (303), (403) for the calculation of the absolute value of the second derivative of the flight parameter, means (304), (404) for the comparison of the absolute value of the second derivative of the flight parameter with a threshold C1, means for evaluating whether the absolute value of the second derivative of the flight parameter exceeds the threshold C1 over a duration greater than a time threshold T, and means for suppressing the alarm originating from the windshear detection system (350), (450).

  • Publication number: 20080306639
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and methods for filtering anti-collision alerts for aircraft having a locating system charting the position of the aircraft and estimating the precision of its position. A navigation system of the aircraft calculates at least the actual speed of the aircraft, the speed instruction and a first deviation between the instruction and the actual speed, and the deviation being compared with a first reference overshoot threshold. An anti-collision system generates alerts. An alarms manager of the aircraft centralizes the alerts transmitted by the terrain anti-collision equipment of the aircraft to the crew. The alerts each posses a coding of the danger level, and the danger levels form part of a first predetermined set. The alert filter according to the invention filters sets of alerts according to the coding of their danger level.

  • Publication number: 20070215745
    Abstract: The method in accordance with the invention is a method of improving aeronautical safety relating to air/ground communications and to the environment of aircraft and it is characterized in that the quality of the air/ground exchanges between the crew and an air traffic control center is monitored automatically aboard the aircraft in which this method is implemented, that the context arising from these exchanges is correlated with the onboard data and those produced by the monitoring of the environment of the aircraft, and that warnings destined for the crew of the aircraft are formulated by allocating these messages a severity level as a function of the degree of dangerousness of a detected threat and/or of gaps or inconsistencies between the instructions and information from the control center and the flight parameters of the aircraft or the intentions of its crew and/or messages destined for the air traffic control.
