20080306638 | METHOD AND DEVICE TO ASSIST IN NAVIGATION IN AN AIRPORT SECTOR - The invention relates to a method and device to assist in navigation in an airport sector. The inventive method and device make it possible to automatically calculate the points of intersection between the path of the flight plan and the zones having speed limitations all around an airport and calculate a speed profile conforming to these limitations. The inventive method and device also make it possible to use an automatic guidance automatically defining flight instructions corresponding to the calculated speed profile. Furthermore, the invention calculates predictions concerning the flight parameters. | 12-11-2008 |
20090005918 | METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING THE EXIT OF AN AIRCRAFT IN A HOLDING CIRCUIT - The method of optimizing the exit of an aircraft traversing for a known duration (D) a holding circuit forming a racecourse comprising two parallel branches of the same distance, the branches being traversed in a first time (t | 01-01-2009 |
20090030565 | METHODS OF DETECTING MISALIGNMENT OF POINTS BELONGING TO AN AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PLAN - A method of detecting the misalignment of a first point ( | 01-29-2009 |
20090082955 | METHOD OF PLOTTING A PORTION OF TRAJECTORY OF AN AIRCRAFT COMPRISING A CIRCULAR ARC OF CONSTANT RADIUS - A method is disclosed for plotting a trajectory portion ( | 03-26-2009 |
20090177341 | METHOD OF DECOUPLING THE MODE OF AUTOMATIC FOLLOWING OF THE LATERAL PROFILE AND THE MODE OF AUTOMATIC FOLLOWING OF THE VERTICAL PROFILE - The present invention relates to a method of decoupling the mode of automatic following of the lateral profile and the mode of automatic following of the vertical profile of an automatic guidance system of an aircraft (A) flying on a reference trajectory (T). The mode of automatic following of the vertical profile is not disengaged immediately on disengaging the mode of automatic following of the lateral profile. After disengaging the mode of automatic following of the lateral profile, the mode of automatic following of the vertical profile is disengaged automatically only if at least one criterion of lateral separation between the current or short-term position of the aircraft and the lateral profile corresponding to the reference trajectory is satisfied, having regard to the position error. | 07-09-2009 |
20090177342 | METHOD OF APPLYING AN HTMB GUIDANCE DIRECTIVE - A method of applying a “Heading Then Merge Behind” (HTMB) guidance directive sent by an air traffic control center to an aircraft comprising a flight management system, the flight management system making it possible to automatically follow the trajectory of an active flight plan. The method includes reception and validation of the directive by the flight management system, confirmation by the pilot of the aircraft of the application of the directive, creation by the flight management system of a flight plan incorporating the directive, activation by the pilot of the flight plan incorporating the directive, so that the directive is executed automatically by the flight management system while following the trajectory of the flight plan incorporating the directive. | 07-09-2009 |
