System und Verfahren zur Simulation eines Luft- und Bodemmoduses eines Flugzeuges

摘要

A system (10) for simulating an air mode and a ground mode of an airplane is provided. The air mode is a state of the airplane when the airplane is in the air, and the ground mode is a state of the airplane when the airplane is on the ground. The system (10) includes means (12) for sensing parameters indicative of whether the airplane is sensed in the air or sensed on the ground. Means (26) for determining whether the airplane is sensed in the air or sensed on the ground is provided. The determining means (26) is responsive to the sensing means (12), and the determining means (26) outputs a signal that is indicative of a sensed air mode or a sensed ground mode. Means (40) for interfacing with an operator is also provided. A simulated air mode and simulated ground mode are selectable via the interface means (32). Means (30) for overriding the signal output from the determining means (26) is provided, and the overriding means (30) outputs a signal that is indicative of the simulated air mode or the simulated ground mode in response to a selection from the interface means (32). The overriding means (30) outputs a signal that is indicative of the sensed air mode or the sensed ground mode when the simulated air mode or the simulated ground mode is not selected.
