Abstract
A navigation system for an aircraft, including a calculator of an estimated flight path for the aircraft; a device for determining an estimated value of a flight parameter that corresponds to an estimated speed for the extension of at least a portion of the high-lift devices of the aircraft; and a display of an indication for such estimated value. A command process for such a system and an aircraft equipped with such a system are also disclosed.
Claims35
A navigation system for an aircraft with high-lift devices, comprising:
- means for calculating an estimated flight path for the aircraft;
- means for determining an estimated value of a flight parameter that corresponds to an estimated speed, an extension of at least a portion of the high-lift devices of the aircraft being performed in view of the estimated value;
- means for displaying on a display screen a symbol at a position representative of said estimated value,
- wherein the estimated value is a unique value of the flight parameter and the symbol is positioned on the display screen so as to distinctly represent the unique estimated value and show, in advance, a specific time for the extension of the portion of the high-lift devices of the aircraft.
A command process of a navigation system for an aircraft comprising the following steps:
- calculating an estimated flight path for the aircraft;
- determining an estimated value of a flight parameter that corresponds to an estimated speed, an extension of at least a part of the high-lift devices of the aircraft being performed in view of the estimated value;
- displaying on a display screen a symbol at a position representative of said estimated value,
- wherein the estimated value is a unique value of the flight parameter and the symbol is positioned on the display screen so as to distinctly represent the unique estimated value and show, in advance, a specific time for the extension of the part of the high-lift devices of the aircraft.
A navigation system for an aircraft with high-lift devices, comprising:
- means for calculating an estimated flight path for the aircraft;
- means for determining an estimated value of a flight parameter that corresponds, on said estimated flight path, to an estimated speed, an extension of at least a part of the high-lift devices of the aircraft being performed in view of the estimated value;
- and
- means for displaying an indication of said estimated value.
A command process of a navigation system for an aircraft comprising the following steps:
- calculating an estimated flight path for the aircraft;
- determining an estimated value of a flight parameter that corresponds, on said estimated flight path, to an estimated speed, an extension of at least a part of the high-lift devices of the aircraft being performed in view of the estimated value;
- displaying an indication of said estimated value.
