The invention relates to an aircraft control system containing several aircraft control computers () for said aircraft, said system having at least one server () which:

Aircraft control system containing an aeronautical data base

The invention relates to a device () for transmitting to a user system () geographical data that is stored, using a unit-surface sorting, in the database () of a provider system ().

Method and device for transmitting geographical data on an aircraft

An aircraft navigation aid device includes at least one flight management system, an airport navigation aid unit which is incorporated in this flight management system, and a common interface unit.

Aircraft navigation aid device

The invention relates to a method and device for displaying a flight plan of an aircraft. The display device includes a display presenting unit making it possible to identify the flight phase of each waypoint of a flight plan which is displayed on a screen, and an activation unit making it possible to directly access a corresponding flight phase page.

Method and device for displaying a flight plan of an aircraft

A guidance system includes a device to generate an alphanumeric identification characteristic, enabling identification of a data item which is used for a selected guidance mode of an aircraft. The system also includes a display unit which automatically shows the alphanumeric identification characteristic on a display screen.

Aircraft guidance system

An aircraft piloting system may include information sources that provide a position indication relating to the aircraft and information that characterizes a virtual approach axis. An information processing unit processes information emanating from the information sources and includes an assisted approach mode function and a landing aid multimode receiver that implements a precision approach. A user device uses the information provided by the landing aid multimode receiver to support the guidance of the aircraft up to its landing.

Aircraft piloting system, at least for piloting the aircraft during a non precision approach with a view to a landing

A method to assist the piloting of an aircraft in a non-precision approach during a landing phase may include a series of successive steps that are carried out interactively and automatically. The steps include verifying, in accordance with respective standards of operation, conditions relating to the correct functioning of a plurality of equipment of the aircraft and to the integrity and precision of measurements of parameters used for implementing the non-precision approach, based on information from the plurality of equipment. On the basis of the verified conditions, an appropriate approach category is selected and presented on a display screen.

Method and device to assist in the piloting of an aircraft in a non-precision approach during a landing phase

A method and device for determining a vertical position cue of an aircraft while landing in the presence of a lateral alignment beam, which is emitted from the ground and provides an indication of the aircraft's lateral alignment with respect to a landing strip, may include detecting the lateral alignment beam with aircraft equipment. On the basis of cues relating to the detected lateral alignment beam and of predetermined cues, an axis of approach of the aircraft is determined. Additionally, the actual position and a preset position of the aircraft, which corresponds to the position the aircraft would have if it were on the approach axis, are determined. On the basis of the actual and preset positions of the aircraft, the vertical deviation of the aircraft, representing the vertical position cue, is computed.

Method and device for determining at least one cue of vertical position of an aircraft

The present invention relates to a method and a device for guiding an aircraft (A) according to a prescribed vertical flight path (T).

Method and device for vertical guidance of an aircraft

A mobile craft is guided with respect to a trajectory. To guide the craft, the distance xtk is determined between the mobile craft and the point of orthogonal projection of the mobile craft on a segment of the trajectory. The angle tkae is determined between the direction of travel of the mobile craft and the direction at the point of orthogonal projection. A control value is computed for the lateral attitude from the distance and angle, two characteristic coefficients and a nominal control value. This control value is applied to the craft.
