  • Patent number: 11857324
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the operational status of an aircraft crew includes a unit for determining at least one pilot state based on first monitoring data of a high design assurance level and second monitoring data of a lower design assurance level. The determination unit includes a first evaluation module capable of obtaining a high-level pilot state from the first data, regardless of the second data; a second evaluation module capable of determining a low-level pilot state, from at least the second data; and a consolidation module for determining a consolidated pilot state. The consolidated pilot state is obtained as a function of the high-level pilot state and the low-level pilot state.

  • Publication number: 20230202672
    Abstract: A virtualized aircraft control architecture includes a human-machine interface configured for generating a main command for arranging a functional element into a target configuration among a plurality of configurations; a procedure management module configured for generating a suggested command depending upon a current step of a flight procedure; a command confirmation module generating a safety command associated with the main command when the latter corresponds to the suggested command; and an interface module configured for sending the main and safety commands to a control module. The control module arranges the functional element into the target configuration when the main command and the safety command, respectively, correspond to the expected main and safety commands for arranging the functional element into the target configuration.

  • Publication number: 20220245537
    Abstract: A system is (10) for determining a flight rest scenario for an aircraft crew (12) comprising at least two pilots able to fly the aircraft (12) during a flight. The system (10) comprises a display device (16) comprising a screen (20), a module (32) for acquiring flight context and constraints inputs, and a module (34) for determining at least one crew rest scenario for the flight from the acquired inputs. The determination module (34) is able to determine the rest scenario from at least one simulation by a biomathematical fatigue model having at least one of the acquired inputs as variables. The system also includes a display management module (36) configured to display the determined rest scenario on the screen (20) of the display device (16).
