| 20080294335 | System for Managing the Terminal Part of a Flight Plan - The management system plots the route to be flown in a flight plan, at least partially, by a chaining of published navigation procedures accessible from a NavDB navigation database and constituted of sequences of waypoints and/or turn points associated with specific flight constraints. It comprises a mirror memory storing the latest versions of the published navigation procedures, modified by the crew of the aircraft during the progress of the flight plan and means of substituting these latest versions stored in the mirror memory for the published versions of the navigation procedures during a change in the route predicted in the flight plan obtained by a new chaining of navigation procedures, some of which are taken from the preceding chaining. This makes it possible, during a change of navigation procedure, to take account of specific flight constraints already entered during the progress of the flight but not appearing in the published navigation procedures. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090045982 | SYSTEM FOR AIDING THE GUIDANCE OF AN AIRCRAFT ON AN AIRPORT - The general field of the invention is that of systems for aiding the guidance of an aircraft on an airport. The system according to the invention comprises means for determining at least one element of the topology of the airport in relation to the position of the aircraft for selecting. Selecting means are provided by the pilot of the aircraft for the element. Generating means are provided to generate at least one guidance or safety set-point using the topological element. Presenting means are provided for the element or the associated set-point on a man-machine interface to the pilot of the aircraft. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090055035 | METHOD FOR POSITIONING ORDERS WITH DELAYED EXECUTION IN AN AIRCRAFT FLIGHT PATH - The invention relates to a navigation aid method of an aircraft comprising a step for positioning an execution order in a flight plan then in a flight path. When the order is for deferred execution, that is, comprises a condition, estimating the position of the aircraft when the condition associated with the order is satisfied, modifying the flight plan based on the estimated position according to the order, computing a new flight path based on the flight plan. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090157237 | MANUAL SELECTION OF THE ACTIVE REFERENCE OF A FLIGHT PLAN FOR THE GUIDANCE OF AN AIRCRAFT - The present invention relates to a method allowing a modification of the flight plan of an aircraft in a semi-automated manner. The invention presents the main advantage of affording the crew of an aircraft a method for aiding the rejoining of a flight plan requiring only a designation by an operator of the new active reference that he wishes to use for guiding the aircraft. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100042316 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING IN THE CHOICE OF REROUTING AIRPORTS - The invention relates to assistance in the navigation of an aircraft in the cruising phase, particularly in an emergency rerouting situation. The invention relates to a method of assisting in the choice of rerouting airports for an aircraft having a position P and a speed V.: generating A first list LAC | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100087969 | Automated System with Deterministic Response Times - The invention relates to an automated system, for example an aircraft flight management system (FMS). If proposes harmonizing the response times of the FMS system between the various scenarios of one and the same family, as and when the product, and its usage context, changes. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100100258 | Method of Ergonomically Selecting a Reference Course/Radial for the Guidance of an Aircraft - The invention relates to a method and an associated device making it possible to avoid guidance command input errors by the crew. Since the course and the radial are linked by different relationships depending on whether the aircraft is approaching or moving away from a point, the procedures from air traffic control may be given either in course or in radial, and since the FMS system can also require the input of one of the two values, the number of possible different combination creates a situation of ambiguity that is prejudicial to the safety of the flight. To resolve this problem, the invention proposes a systematic display in text mode and/or in graphic mode of the input datum (course or radial) and of the other for verification by the crew. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100131125 | METHOD FOR ASSISTING IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FLIGHT OF AN AIRCRAFT IN ORDER TO KEEP TO A TIME CONSTRAINT - The invention relates to the field of civil aviation and, more specifically, relates to the flight management systems, more commonly known by the English acronym FMS. The method for assisting in the management of the flight of an aircraft in order to keep to a time constraint according to the present invention allows for a control of the keeping to the time constraint that presents a rapid dynamic, by avoiding as far as possible having the estimated time of arrival (ETA) at a particular point (P) able to drift relative to a required time of arrival (RTA) at said particular point (P), thanks to the use of a manoeuvring margin (M) granted to the guidance module of the aircraft. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100161156 | DEVICE FOR ASSISTING IN THE CHOICE OF A DIVERSION AIRPORT - The invention relates to a device for assisting in the choice of a diversion airport for an aircraft piloted by a crew ( | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100168936 | Method of Constructing a Vertical Profile in the Event of Depressurization in an Area with Risks and Associated Devices - The method of generating a secure flight plan portion in the event of depressurization corresponding to a time-conditioned descent profile that may include a succession of levels, comprises:
