  • Process for verifying the coherence between aircraft take-off parameters and an available runway length
    Patent number: 8380372
    Abstract: A method for verifying coherence of takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at a moment of takeoff comprises a step of identifying a takeoff runway and a step of validating takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway.
    Type: Grant

  • Automatic take-off method and device for an airplane
    Patent number: 7835829
    Abstract: Automatic take-off method and device for an airplane. The device includes a device for automatically determining, using an elevation guidance objective, a vertical piloting objective which is expressed as rate of pitch, and a device for automatically determining, using the vertical piloting objective, deflection commands for elevators of the airplane.

  • PROCESS FOR VERIFYING THE COHERENCE BETWEEN AIRCRAFT TAKE-OFF PARAMETERS AND AN AVAILABLE RUNWAY LENGTH
    Publication number: 20100094488
    Abstract: A method for verifying the coherence of the takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at the moment of takeoff comprises a step (E20) of identifying a takeoff runway and a step (E30) of validating the takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway. Use to make takeoff of an aircraft from an airport safe.
