Method and device for assisting in the preparation and management of missions in an aircraft
View Patent ↗Aiding preparation and management of aircraft missions includes receiving digital data including avionic type data and open-world type data and comparing the digital data with a set of stored data. When at least one item of the digital data differs from an equivalent item in the set of stored data, a change indicator is generated for at least one parameter of the aircraft. In response to a command accepting the change of the at least one parameter, item of digital data, that differs from the equivalent item in the set of stored data, is stored.
1. A method for preparing and managing aircraft missions, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of digital data, the plurality of digital data including at least one item of avionic type data and at least one item of open-world type data;
comparing the received plurality of digital data received with a set of stored data;
generating a change indicator for at least one parameter of an aircraft when at least one item of the plurality of digital data differs from an equivalent item in the set of stored data; and
storing the at least one item of the plurality of digital data that differs from the equivalent item in response to an acceptance command accepting a change of the at least one parameter.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the stored at least one item of the plurality of digital data corresponds to the at least one parameter, and which is used to control an operation of the aircraft.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
processing at least one item of the plurality of digital data.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting at least one item in the set of stored data to an operating center prior to the receiving of the plurality of digital data.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the change indicator includes displaying at least one item of the plurality of digital data.
6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
modifying at least one item of the plurality of digital data.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving the plurality of digital data is performed by request of the aircraft.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of digital data includes parameters based on airline business decisions.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the airline business decisions include at least one of the following: an indication relating to using air conditioning during a takeoff phase; and determining whether to consume more than a predetermined amount of fuel for an on-time arrival.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of digital data is transmitted in a form directly usable by a control system of the aircraft.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program codes embodied in the computer readable storage medium that, when executed cause a computer to execute:
receiving a plurality of digital data, the plurality of digital data including at least one item of avionic type data and at least one item of open-world type data;
comparing the received plurality of digital data received with a set of stored data;
generating a change indicator for at least one parameter of an aircraft when at least one item of the plurality of digital data differs from an equivalent item in the set of stored data; and
storing the at least one item of the plurality of digital data that differs from the equivalent item in response to an acceptance command accepting a change of the at least one parameter.
12. An aircraft control system, comprising:
a processor configured to carry out the steps of:
receiving a plurality of digital data, the plurality of digital data including at least one item of avionic type data and at least one item of open-world type data;
comparing the received plurality of digital data received with a set of stored data;
generating a change indicator for at least one parameter of an aircraft when at least one item of the plurality of digital data differs from an equivalent item in the set of stored data; and
storing the at least one item of the plurality of digital data that differs from the equivalent item in response to an acceptance command accepting a change of the at least one parameter.
13. An aircraft, comprising:
a receiver that receives a plurality of digital data, the plurality of digital data including at least one item of avionic type data and at least one item of open-world type data;
a comparer that compares the received plurality of digital data received with a set of stored data;
a generator that generates a change indicator for at least one parameter of an aircraft when at least one item of the plurality of digital data differs from an equivalent item in the set of stored data; and
a storer that stores the at least one item of the plurality of digital data that differs from the equivalent item in response to an acceptance command accepting a change of the at least one parameter.
