An alerts and procedures management system for an aircraft comprises a software kernel aboard the aircraft and a parameterization tool for the software kernel, which comprises a conversion module for converting a configuration file describing an operational need of the system into a database of binary parameters which is able to parameterize the software kernel. The software kernel comprises at least four elementary cells: a first cell for acquiring aircraft signals, a second cell for characterizing state variables of the aircraft, a third cell for computing at least one separate event, a fourth cell for scheduling the separate events for communication with the crew; each of the cells comprising a software engine parameterizable by the database.

Fully parametrizable electronic alerts and procedures management system, intended for an aircraft

The process according to the invention is one of identifying the landing runway for which an aircraft is heading, wherein on the basis of on-board information and at least one database relative to the configuration of the landing airport zone, it is possible to dynamically evaluate the aircraft touchdown point on the ground to identify the runway for which the aircraft is heading.
