Abstract
The dialog device includes a display screen, on which are displayed three graphic representations, which are respectively associated with the three control axes of the aircraft, each of said graphic representations comprising a plurality of portions, each of which is associated with a guidance mode of the associated control axis, so that all the possible guidance modes of the guidance system are thus represented, this representation highlighting the fact that the guidance modes are active exclusively on a given guidance axis.
Claims15
A dialog device between an operator of an aircraft and a guidance system configured to manage guidance modes of the aircraft, said guidance system using guidance setpoints for the management of said guidance modes, said dialog device comprising at least one control unit comprising means for manually selecting guidance modes and guidance setpoints, and a display screen, whereon are displayed first, second, and third graphic representations,
- wherein said first, second, and third graphic representations are respectively associated with three control axes of the aircraft:
- a speed axis, a lateral axis and a vertical axis, according to which the guidance system is configured to manage guidance modes,
- wherein each of said graphic representations is produced in the form of a graphic assembly, each of said graphic assemblies comprising a plurality of portions, each of which is associated with a guidance mode of the associated control axis, so that all the possible guidance modes of the guidance system are thus represented, and
- wherein the portion relating to a guidance mode engaged on the guidance system is highlighted on the corresponding graphic representation, said graphic representation highlighting the fact that the guidance modes are active exclusively on a given guidance axis.
A guidance system of an aircraft, comprising a dialog device to enable a dialog between said guidance system and an operator of said aircraft, at least for the selection of guidance modes and of guidance setpoints, said dialog device comprising at least one control unit comprising means for manually selecting guidance modes and guidance setpoints, and a display screen, whereon are displayed first, second, and third graphic representations,
- wherein said first, second, and third graphic representations are respectively associated with three control axes of the aircraft:
- a speed axis, a lateral axis and a vertical axis, according to which the guidance system is configured to manage guidance modes,
- wherein each of said graphic representations is produced in the form of a graphic assembly, each of said graphic assemblies comprising a plurality of portions, each of which is associated with a guidance mode of the associated control axis, so that all the possible guidance modes of the guidance system are thus represented, and
- wherein the portion relating to a guidance mode engaged on the guidance system is highlighted on the corresponding graphic representation, said graphic representation highlighting the fact that the guidance modes are active exclusively on a given guidance axis.
