20080270022 | Method for positioning at least one reporting point on a flight track - The invention relates to a method for positioning reporting points that allows an exact positioning of the said reporting points on the track to be conserved, by continually using their original references in order to reposition these points each time the track is recalculated. The advantages of this solution are, on the one hand, to continually position the reporting points along the track rather than off the track and, thus, to locate the reporting points exactly notably in terms of distance, time and altitude. | 10-30-2008 |
20100274418 | Method for Determining the Quantity of Fuel Taken On Board an Aircraft Making it Possible to Maintain a Time Requirement of the RTA Type - A method for determining the quantity of fuel in an aircraft and an optimization criterion such as a cost index, notably used in an FMS, making it possible to maintain a time requirement of the RTA type, comprising a first step of computing the optimization criterion CI | 10-28-2010 |
20100324757 | Method and Device for Optimizing the Deceleration Point of a Holding Circuit - A method for optimizing the computation of the position of the braking point on the approach to a holding circuit for aircraft is provided. The method comprises computing the optimal position of the theoretical deceleration point allowing the aircraft to pass from its current speed to the maximum speed authorized at the entry point and of the theoretical deceleration distance, computing a trajectory portion forming a turn allowing the aircraft to enter the holding circuit and the position of the point of the start of the turn, computing a point for anticipating the turn, making it possible to take into account the banking rate of the aircraft, computing a margin, and computing the start-of-braking point, situated at a distance. | 12-23-2010 |
20130166112 | Method and Device for Determining a Lateral Trajectory of an Aircraft and Associated Flight Management System - A method, and an associated device, is provided for the determination, by a flight management system of an aircraft, of a lateral trajectory of said aircraft on the basis of a predefined flight plan allowing consecutive conflicts to be resolved in an improved manner. This allows an improved lateral trajectory to be designed in the case where multiple trajectory conflicts exist. The trajectory obtained is closer to the flight plan defined by the pilot. The propagation of trajectory conflicts to the following flight segments is thus avoided. In fact, instead of propagating the trajectory conflict from one resolution to another, the method allows the conflict to be resolved in a space delimited at most by the input of the first conflict and the output of the last conflict. | 06-27-2013 |
20130238174 | METHOD OF CORRECTING A LATERAL TRAJECTORY ON APPROACH AS A FUNCTION OF THE ENERGY TO BE REABSORBED - In the field of the calculation of the approach trajectory of an aircraft, and relating to a method for determining a corrected lateral approach trajectory as a function of the energy to be reabsorbed before the landing, and also to a flight management system making it possible to determine the corrected lateral trajectory, a method comprises: determining an energy of the aircraft E | 09-12-2013 |
20130317737 | Method and Device for Determining a Shifted Circular Segment - A method and device for determining a shifted circular segment on the basis of an initial circular segment, the shifted circular segment being shifted by a shift distance, the method being implemented by a computer dedicated to flight management, comprises: determining a shifted final point terminating a shifted circular segment, on the basis of the final point terminating the initial circular segment, through a shift of the final point determined on the basis of the shift distance and in the direction of shift, through the use of a straight line passing through the centre of the initial circular segment and the final point of the initial circular segment, and determining a shifted circular segment on the basis of the initial circular segment by construction of a circular segment between the shifted final point associated with the preceding shifted segment and the shifted final point associated with the shifted segment. | 11-28-2013 |
