A method of creating at least one flight plan of an aircraft includes entering a creation objective which illustrates a type and general characteristics of the flight plan to be created, automatically generating a flight plan outline, automatically generating a targeted request for information relating to missing parameters, entering the requested information relating to the missing parameters, and supplementing automatically the flight plan outline and automatically deleting any discontinuities to create, in a definitive manner, the flight plan.

Method and device for creating an aircraft flight plan

The device () comprises a first system () which comprises means () for calculating the vector difference between a position generated by this first system () and a realignment position received from a second system (), for one and the same date-stamping, and means () for adding this difference to any new position of the aircraft, generated by said first system (), so as to obtain each time a realigned position.

A parachuting method may include: (1) determining a release point where parachute items must be released from an aircraft, (2) determining a first end point that is located on a straight reference line downstream of the release point where the release of parachute items must stop, (3) determining a second end point that is located on the straight reference line downstream of the first end point where parachuting is ended, (4) performing a first parachuting sequence by guiding the aircraft along the straight reference line and releasing some of the items to be parachuted between the release point and the first end point, (5) determining a flight circuit for the aircraft to return from the second end point to follow the straight reference line until it reaches the second end point, and (6) performing additional parachuting sequences.

Parachuting aid method and device

A process for transmitting data between at least one display screen in a cockpit and at least one remote client system includes at least one computer, in which the display screen displays a first request to send a message in a first communication protocol; this message is sent to the remote client system over a first link using a second communication protocol. A request to confirm a message is generated and displayed on the display screen via a communication interface designed to receive and generate messages in this first communication protocol and to receive and generate messages that can be received by the remote client system. The request to confirm the message from the first request is validated by activating a confirmation device separate from the at least one display screen; activating this confirmation device sends a confirmation message via a router system to the remote system awaiting confirmation; this confirmation message, not generated in the first protocol, can be received by the remote client system awaiting confirmation; the router system includes at least one second link separate from the first link.

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.

A method of automatic piloting of an aircraft during a phase of approach to a predetermined airdrop position includes automatically applying a speed profile with decreasing speed such that the aircraft will reach the airdrop position at a predetermined theoretical arrival time with a predetermined speed, the speed profile having a plurality of constant-speed levels separated by deceleration phases. An actual arrival time is automatically determined and a difference between the theoretical and actual arrival times is calculated. If the calculated difference differs from zero, the speed profile is corrected by modifying the length lengths of time that at least two constant-speed levels are applied to the aircraft so as to cancel the difference.
