A system for automated management of in-flight restarting of engines of an aircraft includes controllers, each engine of the aircraft being managed by one of the controllers. A controller that detects an engine that has stopped: cuts off the energy supply of the engine and performs a windmill engine start. If at least one other engine has stopped, prioritization of engine restarting includes: collecting information concerning a state of health of each engine; determining from the information collected information representing a probability of restarting each stopped engine; determining a sequential order of restarting the stopped engines as a function of information representing the probability of restarting each stopped engine. Each stopped engine continues to be windmill started until selection of the engine in question in the sequential order of restarting the stopped engines. Thus, the operational status of the aircraft is improved as quickly as possible.

Restarting a plurality of engines of an aircraft

A method and system for protecting an aircraft against an incoherent command instruction. The system has a generation unit generating a command instruction transmitted to an evaluation unit that evaluates whether or not the command instruction is incoherent and generates and transmits a validation order if the command instruction is coherent or an arbitration request if not, the arbitration request being transmitted by an arbitration unit, where applicable, to an operator who sends a confirmation response or a cancellation response. The arbitration unit generates and transmits a validation order to an execution unit in the event of receiving a confirmation response and a cancellation order in the event of receiving a cancellation response, the system allowing the execution unit to execute only the command instructions evaluated and confirmed as not being incoherent.
