20080306680Method for Determining the Horizontal Profile of a Flight Plan Complying with a Prescribed Vertical Flight Profile - The present invention relates to the definition, in a flight plan, of the horizontal profile of an air route with vertical flight and speed profile prescribed on departure and/or on arrival, by a stringing together of check-points and/or turn points associated with local flight constraints and called “D-Fix” because they are not listed in a published navigation database like those called “Waypoints”. It consists in charting, on curvilinear distance maps, a direct curvilinear path joining the departure point to the destination point of the air route while complying with vertical flight and speed profiles prescribed on departure and/or on arrival and while guaranteeing a circumnavigation of the surrounding reliefs and compliance with regulated overfly zones, then in approximating the series of points of the direct curvilinear path by a sequence of straight segments complying with an arbitrary maximum deviation threshold relative to the points of the series and an arbitrary minimum lateral deviation threshold relative to the set of obstacles to be circumnavigated and in adopting as “D-Fix” points the points of the intermediate intersections of the rectilinear segments.12-11-2008
20100066565System for Scheduling Tasks to Control the Execution of Warning Procedures on an Aircraft - The invention relates to onboard failure warning management systems on aircraft, or flight warning systems (FWS). Traditionally, the logic of these systems refers to procedures to be executed by the crew in response to warnings. Modifications, however minor, to the procedures involve a new development that can be installed on the airplane computer only as part of a costly maintenance procedure, given notably the need to carry out exhaustive tests on the application. The invention introduces the concept of tasks defined by a set of variables, notably the warning and the procedure in which the task is executed, its category, its priority level and its status. Thus, the computer programs can be organized in modules that call the tasks to be executed, the parameters of said tasks being defined in a configuration table that can be updated as the procedures change during simple operation maintenance procedures.03-18-2010
