Abstract
A combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device includes an ADS-B circuitry configured to receive an ADS-B transmission, a CO sensor configured to obtain a CO reading for ambient air in an aircraft cabin, a processor configured to generate a data stream combining the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading, and a wireless communication circuitry configured to provide the data stream to at least one aircraft crew computing device.
Claims20
A combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device comprising:
- an ADS-B circuitry configured to receive an ADS-B transmission;
- a CO sensor configured to obtain a CO reading for ambient air in an aircraft cabin;
- a status indicator configured to provide an alert when the obtained CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value, wherein the CO threshold value establishes one of a caution threshold and a danger threshold for CO concentration in the ambient air;
- a processor configured to generate a data stream combining the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading;
- and
- a wireless communication circuitry configured to provide the data stream to at least one aircraft crew computing device.
