Patent ID: 8498755

Claim:
A device for coherent management of data deriving from different surveillance systems of an aircraft, comprising: a flight management system, a function of which is to assist a crew in following a flight plan of the aircraft and an associated trajectory; a surveillance system, a function of which is to detect any obstacles in proximity to the aircraft; and a flight warning system, a function of which is to detect abnormal situations and to display for the crew, where appropriate, warnings, and associated procedures to be followed when such exist; wherein said flight management system, said surveillance system and said flight warning system are interconnected and cooperate so that at least the flight warning system has access to the flight plan of the aircraft, and is configured to display for the crew of said aircraft a summary of a situation when the surveillance system detects a possible but avoidable warning, so as not to raise any unnecessary warnings; wherein the device is further configured with a warning prevention function, so as to prevent issuing of unnecessary warnings by the surveillance system; wherein the device is further configured with an early warning management function from the surveillance system; and wherein the device is further configured with a post-warning management function, including proposing to the crew one or more procedures for managing a trajectory of the aircraft after a warning issued by the surveillance system has led the aircraft to depart from its initial flight plan.
