Abstract:
1. Method for a system for monitoring atmospheric areas presenting a risk for aircraft, the system being connected to a navigation system storing the trajectory of the aircraft, to a meteorological system, to alarm generation systems and to viewing devices, comprising the following steps: a. calculation of atmospheric areas detected by the meteorological system, the atmospheric areas being defined by different levels of risk, each level of risk being represented on an image by a specific color; b. calculation of at least one danger detection area in front of the aircraft defining an alert level, this area: c. generation of one or more alarms defining a level of risk and alert for the areas of intersection between the atmospheric areas and the danger detection area, each alarm being generated through an analysis of the image; and d. display of the intersection areas on all or part of the screen of at least one viewing device when an alarm is generated.
