Abstract
An in-flight safety enhancing system including: a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading; and a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to: receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading; augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission; and provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value.
Claims20
An in-flight safety enhancing system comprising:
- a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading, wherein the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device comprises a CO sensor configured to perform a periodic self-test;
- and
- a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to:
- receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading;
- augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission;
- and
- provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value.
A method for enhancing in-flight safety, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, a CO reading from a CO sensor;
- receiving, by the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, an ADS-B transmission;
- and
- integrating, by the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, the CO reading and the ADS-B transmission into a data stream;
- transmitting, by the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, the data stream to an aircraft crew computing device;
- and
- performing a periodic self-test.
An in-flight safety enhancing system comprising:
- a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading;
- and
- a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to:
- receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading;
- augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission;
- provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value;
- and
- a temperature sensor, wherein:
- the temperature sensor acquires a temperature reading, and
- the processor is further configured to perform a temperature compensation of the CO reading using the temperature reading.
