| 20100066565 | System 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 |
| 20100161157 | DEVICE FOR MANAGING PILOTING TASKS CARRIED OUT BY A CREW OF AN AIRCRAFT - The present invention lies in the field of embedded flight management systems on board aircraft. The invention relates notably to a system for managing alerts and procedures, and more precisely to a device for managing piloting tasks carried out by a crew of an aircraft.

| 20100162255 | DEVICE FOR RECONFIGURING A TASK PROCESSING CONTEXT - The present invention pertains to the field of onboard flight management systems embedded in aircraft. The invention relates to a reconfiguration device ( | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110153212 | Device and Method for the Coherent Management of Data Deriving from Surveillance Systems of an Aircraft - A device for the coherent management of data deriving from different surveillance systems of an aircraft includes: a flight management system, the function of which is to assist the crew in following a flight plan of the aircraft and an associated trajectory; a surveillance system, the function of which is to detect any obstacles in proximity to the aircraft; a warning management system, the function of which is to detect abnormal situations and to display for the crew, where appropriate, warnings, such as potentially critical alarms or non-critical alerts, and the associated procedures to be followed when such exist; in which said flight management system, said surveillance system and said warning management system are interconnected and cooperate so that at least the warning management system has access to the flight plan of the aircraft, and is configured to display for the crew a summary of the situation when the surveillance system detects an obstacle that the aircraft should avoid according to the flight plan, and to not display, consequently, unnecessary warnings. | 06-23-2011 |
