VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUM SCHUTZ EINES LUFTFAHRZEUGS GEGEN TURBULENZEN BEI KLARER LUFT

摘要

The method involves analyzing a temporal evolution of a clear air turbulence significant index i.e. Richardson number. Safeguard action of an airplane is taken into account when analysis of the temporal evolution of the index and of trajectory of the airplane indicates that the airplane crosses a zone subjected to clear air turbulence, where the airplane occupies a position (P) and horizontally displaced at a speed (V). Flight personnel of the aircraft are informed when analysis of the temporal evolution of the index and of the trajectory indicates that the airplane leaves the zone. An independent claim is also included for a device for protecting an airplane in flight against clear air turbulence.
