The present invention relates to a display device for a glass cockpit of an aircraft, intended to provide video streams to a plurality of viewing screens of said glass cockpit, said aircraft being partitioned into a secured area, a so-called avionic world (AW), and a non-secured area, a so-called open world (OW), said system comprising at least one first port intended to receive first data to be displayed from a system () belonging to the avionic area and at least one second port intended to receive second data to be displayed from a system () belonging to the open world, the display device comprising:

Display system for avionic and non-avionic applications

A method and device for assisting the lateral control of an aircraft running on a runway employ a detector for measuring a lateral deviation of the aircraft relative to a lateral alignment beam transmitted by a radio transmitter installed on the ground, the lateral deviation representing an angular deviation between a straight line passing through the radio transmitter and the detector and the centerline of the runway. A calculator calculates a first distance, defined along the runway, between the position of the pilot in the cockpit and the radio transmitter. A central unit determines, from the lateral deviation and the first distance, a line intended to correspond with the centerline of the runway. A head up display device displays the line on a display screen, superimposed on the environment existing in front of the aircraft and the centerline of the runway.

Method and device for assisting the lateral control of an aircraft running on a runway

A method of aiding the piloting of an aircraft during a maneuver, bringing about an increase in the attitude of the aircraft, is carried out automatically and repeatedly. According to the method, an attitude deviation is determined by subtracting a first value of attitude from a determined current attitude of the aircraft. A horizon line is presented on a display screen of a head-up display device, superimposed with the environment seen in front of the aircraft, as is an indication of the attitude deviation. The first value of attitude corresponds to the minimum value of (1) an optimal value of attitude at the end of the maneuver and (2) a value of attitude of protection against a rear collision.
