A kit for manufacturing electronic aircraft control units having different specifications, the units comprising electronic modules of different types, including:
- avionics platform modules comprising at least an electronic monitoring circuit and an electronic control circuit that are segregated from each other, the avionics platform modules being identical with one another and being arranged:
- to receive data signals from an inertial navigation system, from attitude and heading reference system, from sensors, from trim device, and from pieces of equipment including engine and landing gear;
- to receive control signals from a pilot interface;
- to respond to the received data signals by preparing the control signals that are to be transmitted to the trim device and to the pieces of equipment;
- to monitor elements to which the elements are connected within the electronic control circuit;
- and
- to transmit the data signals to the pilot interface;
- first protection modules for protecting the avionics platform modules, the first protection modules being identical with one another;
- first extended connection modules, the first extended connection modules being identical with one another;
- and
- second protection modules for protecting the extended connection modules, the second protection modules being identical with one another.
A kit for manufacturing electronic aircraft control units having different specifications, the units comprising electronic modules of different types, including:
