Patent ID: 10040564

Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing an input device are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for managing an input device for an aerial vehicle. The method includes determining, by one or more controllers, whether a signal from the input device is indeterminate for more than a first threshold period of time. When the signal from the input device is indeterminate for more than the first threshold period of time, the method continues. The method includes determining, by the one or more controllers, a last valid signal from the input device. When the last valid signal from the input device is ON, the method includes determining, by the one or more controllers, whether a high pressure shut-off valve (HPSOV) is closed within a second threshold period of time. When the last valid signal from the input device is ON and when the HPSOV is closed, the method includes changing a position of the input device in a logic of the one or more controllers.
