Situation aftermath management system and method

摘要

A system and method for assisting flight crew recovery in the aftermath of an unexpected event is provided. A processor is used to detect that an unexpected event has occurred in an aircraft and, in response to detecting that the unexpected event has occurred, state data are stored in memory. The processor is also used to detect that the unexpected event has been resolved and, in response to detecting that the unexpected event has been resolved, the processor retrieves the state data from the memory, generates an aftermath plan that includes prompts to guide the flight crew to complete the aftermath plan, and continuously updates the aftermath plan until the aftermath plan is completed.

1. A method of assisting recovery by a flight crew in the aftermath of an unexpected event, the method comprising the steps of:
using a processor to detect that an unexpected event has occurred in an aircraft; in response to detecting that the unexpected event has occurred, storing state data in memory, the state data representative of at least partially completed flight crew tasks that were initiated before the unexpected event occurred, configurations of selected cockpit components when the unexpected event occurred, flight crew state when the unexpected event occurred, passenger state when the unexpected event occurred, aircraft state when the unexpected event occurred, and air traffic control (ATC) state when the unexpected event occurred; using the processor to detect that the unexpected event has been resolved; and in response to detecting that the unexpected event has been resolved, using the processor to:
retrieve the state data from the memory,generate an aftermath plan that includes prompts to guide the flight crew to complete the aftermath plan, andcontinuously update the aftermath plan until the aftermath plan is completed.
