This method for displaying information relative to an aircraft is carried out by computer and includes the acquisition of a message from among a meteorological message and an aeronautical information message, each message including at least one mission object identifier; searching, among the mission object identifier(s) contained in each acquired message, for at least one mission object identifier verifying at least one criterion from among first, second and third predefined criteria, the first criterion depending on a received mission plan, the second criterion depending on the current position of the aircraft, and the third criterion depending on both the current position of the aircraft and the received mission plan; and if at least one mission object identifier is detected verifying at least one of the first, second and third predefined criteria, displaying each detected identifier.

Method and system for displaying information relating to an aircraft, device for producing said information and related computer program product

Described are a collision prevention device and a method for a vehicle in motion on the ground. The collision prevention device includes means for localizing obstacles; means for acquiring obstacle localization data; means for localizing the equipped vehicle; a collision prevention computer, and presentation means for presenting warnings to a driver of the equipped vehicle.

Collision prevention device and method for a vehicle on the ground

The TAWS system, in addition to an FTLA function for detecting the risk of collision with the terrain, has an end-of-conflict announcement function COT which is activated after the cessation of a warning or alarm concerning the risk of collision with the ground originating from the FTLA function. This COT function, when activated, checks that the aircraft (A) is observing minimum vertical and lateral safe distances, and estimates the lower vertical speed margin with which a new ground collision risk warning will not be retriggered. After confirming the observance of the minimum safe distances, the COT function has an end-of-conflict message ('Clear of terrain') sent with a lower vertical speed margin indication.

Onboard system for the prevention of collisions of an aircraft with the ground with end-of-conflict indication

The process according to the invention is one of identifying the landing runway for which an aircraft is heading, wherein on the basis of on-board information and at least one database relative to the configuration of the landing airport zone, it is possible to dynamically evaluate the aircraft touchdown point on the ground to identify the runway for which the aircraft is heading.
