An aircraft system for an aircraft, the aircraft system including a controller configured, during a take-off procedure, to determine that a one engine inoperative condition is met and determine that a predetermined take-off criterion is met. The controller is configured, on the basis of a determination that the one engine inoperative condition is met, and prior to receiving a command to retract a landing gear of the aircraft, to initiate automatic opening of a landing gear bay door associated with the landing gear from a closed position towards an open position when the controller determines that the predetermined take-off criterion is met, and inhibit the automatic opening when the controller determines that the predetermined take-off criterion is not met.

Aircraft system

An aircraft control systemincluding a control assemblyhaving control units, including a first control unitfor controlling actuation of the aircraft component during a first time period, using electrical resourcefrom a first electrical resource device, and a second control unitfor controlling actuation of the aircraft component during a second time period, and a switch mechanismfor switching control of the actuation of the aircraft component between the first and second control units, wherein the switch mechanism has a first electrical resource device status inputfor indicating the status of the first electrical resource deviceand wherein, the switch mechanism is configured to switch control between the firstand secondcontrol units based on the first electrical resource device status input

Aircraft control system

An aircraft system for an aircraft is disclosed having a controller that is configured, during a take-off procedure, to initiate, prior to receiving a command to retract a landing gear, automatic opening of a landing gear bay door associated with the landing gear from a closed position towards an open position, on the basis of a determination, made when a speed of the aircraft is determined by the controller to be equal to or greater than a first threshold speed, that a one engine inoperative condition is met.

An aircraft system for an aircraft, the aircraft system including a controller configured, during a take-off procedure, to receive a first signal indicative of a climb rate of the aircraft and, when the controller determines, on the basis of the first signal, that the climb rate of the aircraft is positive, cause a retraction alert to be issued to a flight crew of the aircraft, the retraction alert indicative that a landing gear of the aircraft is retractable.
