Abstract
The invention proposes that a camera () takes a technical picture of an air outlet valve () of an aircraft, and the picture taken of the outlet valve () is displayed on a picture display unit (), for example in the cockpit of the aircraft. By shining light onto the outlet valve from a light source (), a clear picture with a high level of contrast is produced. The valve setting of the outlet valve () can thus be monitored visually, in a reliable manner, by the pilot.
