A method is provided for dynamically consolidating items of an aeronautical procedure in order to present to the operator the best action to perform according to the context of all the systems, in order to reduce his cognitive workload faced with an action to be carried out. The method consists, for each item of a procedure, in determining the text of the requested action, in choosing the text of the corresponding response that the crew must perform according to the general state and the configuration of the aircraft, in incorporating in the corresponding item the texts of the requested action and of the corresponding response, in displaying this duly enriched item, in detecting whether the requested action has indeed been accomplished and in displaying the result of this detection.

Method for dynamically consolidating items of an aeronautical procedure

The present invention lies in the field of embedded flight management systems on board aircraft. The invention relates notably to a system for managing alerts and procedures, and more precisely to a device for managing piloting tasks carried out by a crew of an aircraft. The device for managing tasks () according to the invention comprises:

Device for managing piloting tasks carried out by a crew of an aircraft

A device for the coherent management of data deriving from different surveillance systems of an aircraft includes: a flight management system, the function of which is to assist the crew in following a flight plan of the aircraft and an associated trajectory; a surveillance system, the function of which is to detect any obstacles in proximity to the aircraft; a warning management system, the function of which is to detect abnormal situations and to display for the crew, where appropriate, warnings, such as potentially critical alarms or non-critical alerts, and the associated procedures to be followed when such exist; in which said flight management system, said surveillance system and said warning management system are interconnected and cooperate so that at least the warning management system has access to the flight plan of the aircraft, and is configured to display for the crew a summary of the situation when the surveillance system detects an obstacle that the aircraft should avoid according to the flight plan, and to not display, consequently, unnecessary warnings.
