According to an aspect, a fire suppressant system includes a first fire bottle in operable communication with a first cockpit control switch via a first channel, and a first sensor-based switch via a second channel. Additionally, the fire suppressant system includes a second fire bottle in operable communication with a second cockpit control switch via a third channel, and a second sensor-based switch via a fourth channel.

A combined controller with a panel that has a face and a back, a case attached to the back of the panel. The face of the panel includes a plurality of first primary flight display inputs configured to receive physical inputs for the control of a first primary flight display; a plurality of second primary flight display inputs configured to receive physical inputs for the control of a second primary flight display; and a plurality of flight control inputs configured to receive physical inputs for the control of automated flight behavior.

A computer implemented method performed by a composite electrical load monitoring system includes determining, at a first time instant during a duration, a first margin between a first reading of a first electrical parameter and a first electrical parameter limit for a first power source, and determining, at the first time instant during the duration, a second margin between a second reading of a second electrical parameter and a second electrical parameter limit for a second power source. The method further includes determining, after the first time instant, that the first margin is less than the second margin in response to determining the first margin and the second margin, and displaying, in a display device and within the duration, an identifier for the first power source in response to determining that the first margin is less than the second margin.

The present application relates to a system and method for providing real-time indications of economic impact of aircraft operations to an aircraft operator. The system and method allow the aircraft operator to reduce economic impact during flight of the aircraft. Such an analysis and cue to the aircraft operator allows the operator to make real-time changes during flight to reduce damage of life-limited aircraft components, thereby reducing the economic impact of aircraft operation that is directly associated with maintenance and component replacement. The system and method can also include pre-flight and post-flight analysis methods for reduction of economic impact of flight operations.
