  • Patent number: 12179924
    Abstract: A method for processing previously detected identifications of apparatuses of an aircraft, wherein each apparatus has at least one communicative component. A reference dataset is used to compare the actual identifications with specified identifications, as a result of which a report signal based on the comparison result indicates whether the detected identifications correspond to the identifications represented by the reference dataset. If there is a positive match, this allows the conclusion that the apparatuses are correctly installed in the aircraft.
