Patent ID: 8892274

Claim:
A method of adapting a man-machine interface of an aircraft, the method comprising: a first step, performed before starting a mission, of determining the characteristics of said mission and the characteristics of said pilot and the pilot's initial physiological state; a second step of determining the state of advance of said mission and a current state of said aircraft together with a current behavior of said pilot during said mission; a third step of determining a current functional level of said pilot CFLP by using said characteristics of said mission, said characteristics and said initial physiological state of said pilot, said state of advance of said mission, said current state of said aircraft, and said current behavior of said pilot; a fourth step of determining a comparison value CV as a function of said current functional level CFLP; a fifth step of comparing said comparison value CV with at least one reference functional level ValRef, wherein each reference functional level ValRef is a constant level independent of the pilot; and a sixth step of acting on said man-machine interface as a function of the comparison of said comparison value CV with each reference functional level ValRef to thereby adapt said man-machine interface depending on said current functional level of said pilot CFLP.
