Abstract:
An autopilot system comprising an onboard unit. The onboard unit has a plurality of sets of sensors that are redundant and mutually independent, together with a plurality of calculation channels, each calculation channel being connected to the sensors of one of the sets of sensors and receiving data coming from the sensors. A supervisor is connected to the sensors of a set of sensors, the supervisor having the function of coupling at most one of the calculation channels to the control members, the supervisor having the function of decoupling the coupled channel from the control members in the event that the current behavior of the aircraft departs from predetermined predicted behavior.

Claim (Index 10):
An autopilot method using an autopilot system according to  claim 1 , the method performing the following steps during a current flight of the aircraft:\n controlling the progress of the aircraft using one of the calculation channels referred to as the engaged channel, the engaged channel being coupled to the piloted members in order to control the piloted members; monitoring the current behavior of the aircraft relative to preprogrammed predicted behavior; and when the current behavior departs from the predicted behavior, decoupling with the supervisor the engaged channel from the piloted members, and providing at least one calculation channel has not been engaged during the current flight, coupling with the supervisor a calculation channel that has not been engaged during the flight with the piloted members, the calculation channel newly coupled to the piloted members becoming in turn the engaged channel.
