Claim 15:
16. An aircraft crew operational state monitoring method, implemented in an aircraft crew operational state monitoring system, comprising:
receiving, via a first receiving interface of the monitoring system, first crew monitoring data, the first crew monitoring data having a high design assurance level;
receiving, via a second receiving interface of the monitoring system, second crew monitoring data having a lower design assurance level than the first crew monitoring data;
determining, via a pilot state determiner of the monitoring system, at least one pilot state based on the high design assurance level first crew monitoring data received from the first receiving interface, and based on the lower design assurance level second crew monitoring data received from the second receiving interface, the at least one pilot state determining comprising, for the at least one monitored pilot state:
implementing a deterministic algorithm via the pilot state determiner to obtain a high-level pilot state from the high design assurance level first crew monitoring data, regardless of the lower design assurance level second crew monitoring data;
determining a low-level pilot state via the pilot state determiner from at least the lower design assurance level second crew monitoring data;
determining a consolidated pilot state via the pilot state determiner, the consolidated pilot state being obtained in an active configuration of the low-level pilot state determining as a function of the high-level pilot state and the low-level pilot state, and being obtained in an inactive configuration of the low-level pilot state determining as a function of the high-level pilot state, without taking the low-level pilot state into account.
