METHODS AND DEVICES FOR ASSISTING THE PILOTING OF AN AIRCRAFT DURING AT LEAST ONE FLIGHT PHASE HAVING A PLURALITY OF STEERING STEPS

摘要

A method and device for aiding piloting of an aircraft, during at least one flight phase including piloting steps. The device includes a unit for real-time acquisition of flight parameters of the aircraft, a calculation unit for calculating in real time with the parameters, for each of the piloting steps, a distance between current position of the aircraft and a position along a flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the corresponding piloting step. At least one display unit is provided for displaying, in real time, characteristic signs each illustrating one of the piloting steps, the characteristic signs being integrated into the environment viewed with the aid of the screen and being positioned so as to make it possible to locate a place of the environment along the flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the piloting step.

主权项

1. A method of aiding piloting of an aircraft, during at least one flight phase including a plurality of piloting steps, a piloting step being a decision step or an action step, the method comprising:
an acquisition step for carrying out real-time acquisition of flight parameters of the aircraft; a display step for displaying in real time, on at least one screen of a flight deck, a plurality of characteristic signs, each of the characteristic signs illustrating one of the piloting steps; and a calculation step for calculating in real time, with aid of the flight parameters, for each of the piloting steps, a distance between current position of the aircraft and a position along a flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach a corresponding piloting step, and wherein in the display step the characteristic signs are integrated into environment viewed with aid of the screen and are positioned to locate a place of the environment along the flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the piloting step.
