Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention generalizes the concept of meteorological ("weather") data.

[0026] In the field of avionics, weather data can be divided into several categories (for example, so-called "regulatory" or "normative" weather, so-called "informational" or "tactical" weather, "radar" "meteorological).

[0027] For so-called regulatory weather, weather observations and forecasts are incorporated into regulatory weather documents called "briefings," which are given to pilots before an aircraft takes off. The regulatory weather is limited. Form and formatting are basic (text codes and black and white graphics), and the data is usually only valid for a limited time interval (approximately 3 to 6 hours). This unavoidable obsolescence of meteorological data leads to significant complications and, inter alia, to some flight safety risks.

[0028] For so-called "informative" or "predictive" or "tactical" weather, this type of data is generally presented as graphical data. ...

Abstract

A method implemented by a computer for managing meteorological data for the management of the flight of an aircraft, comprises the steps of receiving a cartographic background and meteorological data associated with the flight plan, selecting one or more meteorological events; displaying graphic representations associated with the meteorological events selected on a strip representing the flight plan; based on the updating of the meteorological data, refreshing the display of the meteorological data. Developments notably describe the re-refreshing of the display corresponding to a revision of the flight plan, taking into account of the severity of the meteorological events, the emission of alerts and / or selectable notifications, the distinction between meteorology of regulatory type and of non-regulatory type. Software and system aspects are described (e.g. electronic flight bag EFB).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of meteorological data management in the context of navigation aids for transport devices such as aircraft. Background technique [0002] Meteorological information is essential to aid in the navigation of rapidly moving aircraft in varying and changing atmospheric conditions. [0003] Meteorological conditions affect operational mission preparation and in-flight decisions. Determinative meteorological events mainly include: atmospheric motion (e.g., wind, storm, convection, turbulence, etc.), hydrometeorological formation (e.g., rain, snow, fog, etc.), ice, conditions of low or reduced visibility, electrical phenomena (lightning) . [0004] Meteorological data is provided in text and / or graphical form. Meteorological data of the graphical type are typically displayed in the form of symbols superimposed on one or more map backgrounds or layers. [0005] Pilots are generally provided with different displa...
