US 5890079 AAbstract
1. A remote flight recorder and aircraft advisory system comprising:an aircraft performance means for detecting aircraft performance and control parameters; a cockpit audio detector means for detecting cockpit sounds and turning them into an audio signal; a video camera means for capturing activities in the cockpit, passenger compartment and cargo compartment, and turning them into a video signal; a position and altitude detector means for accurately determining aircraft position and altitude data, and turning these data into a position signal and an altitude signal; a pilot's audio and visual advisory means, located in the cockpit of an aircraft, for providing audio and visual advice to the pilot; a maintenance communications means, located on board said aircraft, for providing maintenance advice to maintenance personnel; a sensor multiplexer receiver and transmitter means, located on board said aircraft, for:accepting said aircraft performance and control parameters, said audio signal, said video signal, said position signal and said altitude signal; converting said aircraft performance and control parameters, when necessary, to digital form; adding an aircraft identification and configuration label; converting said aircraft performance and control parameters, said audio signal, said video signal, said position signal, said altitude signal and said identification and configuration label to an outgoing rf signal and broadcasting said outgoing rf signal; and receiving an incoming rf signal, converting it to a ground advisory, an in-flight advisory and a maintenance advisory, feeding said ground advisory and said in-flight advisory to said pilot's audio and visual advisory means and feeding said maintenance advisory to said maintenance communication means; an airport traffic control database means for providing information about airport ground and air traffic; an area traffic control database means for providing information about area traffic; a weather database means for providing global weather information; a map database means for providing a map; a global topographic database means for providing topographic elevation data; an aircraft manufacturer's database means for providing aircraft data, maintenance information, and performance, problem and crash avoidance simulations; a central station means, located on the ground, for receiving said outgoing rf signal and converting it to said aircraft performance and control parameters, said audio signal, said video signal, said position signal, said altitude signal and said aircraft identification and configuration label, and broadcasting said incoming rf signal; a processing means, connected to said central station means, for:archiving said aircraft performance and control parameters, said audio signal, said video signal, said position signal and said altitude signal thus creating an archived data database; combining said aircraft performance and control parameters, said audio signal, said video signal, said position signal and said altitude signal with the archived data, said airport ground and air traffic information, said area traffic information, said global weather information, said map, said topographic elevation data, said aircraft data and said performance, problem and crash avoidance simulations; performing additional performance, problem and crash avoidance simulations; generating said on ground, in-flight and maintenance advisories; and converting said on ground, in-flight and maintenance advisories to said incoming rf signal; a display and control means, connected to said processing means, for displaying operation of said processing means and for allowing operator control of said processing means; a global rf communications network means for conveying said outgoing signal from said aircraft to said central station means and conveying said incoming rf signal from said central station means to said aircraft; and a communications means for allowing communication between said processing means and said airport traffic control database means, said area traffic control database means, said weather database means, said map database means, and said topographic database means. 2. A remote flight recorder and aircraft advisory system as claimed in claim 1 in which said position and altitude detector means has its own antenna.
FIG. 1 shows an aircraft 10 equipped with a Sensor Multiplexer Receiver & Transmitter (SMART) 14 which is a line replaceable unit. The aircraft is also equipped with a GPS receiver system 16. The GPS system 16 receives ultra high frequency (uhf) radio signals 36 from several GPS satellites 32 via its GPS antenna 40, calculates the position and altitude of the aircraft 10 and reports this position and altitude data 44 to the SMART 14. The SMART 14 also receives aircraft performance and control data 18, acoustic data 22, and video data 26. The video data 26 comes from cameras which monitor the cockpit, the passenger compartment, and the cargo compartment. SMART 14 periodically samples the sensor signals 18, 22, 26, 44 converts all non-digital sensor signals 18, 22, 26, 44 into digital format, adds a sensor identification label to each signal 18, 22, 26, 44 plus an aircraft identification and configuration label. Then the SMART 14 ultra high frequency radio electronically modulates the combined data and sends them to the aircraft satellite telemetry antenna 30. It should be noted that, to save weight, one antenna could serve the functions of the GPS antenna 40 and the aircraft satellite telemetry antenna 30. Then this uhf signal is transmitted by the aircraft antenna 30 to an earth orbiting communication satellite 38 that is located in a direct, unobstructed, line of sight with the aircraft 10. In addition to transmitting data, the SMART 14 receives data from the satellite 38. As will be described more fully below, this data is mostly in the form of advisories and alerts. Such advisories and alerts are reported to the crew via an on-board advisory system 72.
