SERVO TRANSPARENCY WARNING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Systems and methods of warning a pilot of a helicopter about a servo transparency condition include devices and steps for retrieving, from a design performance database, a plurality of design performance parameters of the helicopter, and receiving avionics data from an avionics data source, the avionics data representative of a plurality of actual performance parameters of the helicopter. The design performance parameters and the avionics data are processed to determine whether one or more of the actual performance parameters exceed the design performance parameters, thereby indicating a servo transparency condition exists. One or more alerts are generated when the servo transparency condition exists.

1. A servo transparency warning system for a helicopter, comprising:
a performance database having stored therein design performance parameters of the helicopter that contribute to servo transparency of the helicopter; an avionics data source configured to supply avionics data representative of actual performance parameters that contribute to servo transparency of the helicopter; and a processor coupled to receive the avionics data from the avionics data source and configured, upon receipt thereof, to compare the actual performance parameters to the design performance parameters and, based upon this comparison, selectively generate one or more alert signals.
