Patent ID: 8515599

Claim:
An evaluation device for evaluation of the operational capabilities of an aircraft designed to inform a user about the capabilities of the aircraft to carry out a mission, the aircraft comprising multiple devices and the evaluation device including means for detection of malfunctions (D i ) of the equipments of the aircraft, with the means for detection adapted for functioning during the accomplishment of the mission, the evaluation device comprising: means for acquisition of information (M) about the mission; means for calculation of an observed feasibility level (F 0 ) of the mission on the basis of at least one detected malfunction (D i ) and information (M) obtained about the mission of the aircraft; and means for presentation of a synthetic reactive indicator, representative of the observed feasibility level (F 0 ) of the mission in at least one given instant of the mission; the means for acquisition, calculation and presentation being adapted for functioning during the execution of the mission, in order to inform the user about the evolution of the observed feasibility level (F 0 ) of the mission depending on detection of new malfunctions (D i ) and/or modifications of the mission in course, wherein the evaluation device further comprises means for acquisition of information (EO) about the operational environment of the aircraft, the means for calculation being designed to calculate the observed feasibility level of the mission (F 0 ) on the basis of the information (EO) acquired about the operational environment of the aircraft, said means for acquisition being designed to function during the execution of the mission, in order to inform the user about the evolution of the observed feasibility level of the mission (F 0 ) depending on the evolution of the operational environment of the aircraft.
