Problems solved by technology

this activity is time consuming and poses an opportunity cost by not allowing the pilot to delve deeper into interorganizational knowledge of the waypoints
[0008] The patent literature does not provide any satisfactory solution to the technical problem of effectively navigating in important databases by means of a human-machine interface with limited features

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Certain technical terms and contexts are defined below.

[0026] The acronym (initial) FMS corresponds to the traditional term "flight management system" and refers to the flight management system of an aircraft, known in the prior art from the international standard ARINC702. During flight preparation or during flight change, crew members usually use FMS aircraft flight management equipment to input various information items related to the flight process. The FMS includes input and display devices, as well as computing devices. An operator, for example a pilot or co-pilot, can enter information via an input device, such as RTA or "waypoints" in relation to waypoints, that is to say points arranged longitudinally on the route through which the aircraft has to pass. These elements are known from the prior art by the international standard ARINC 424. The calculation means are notably able to calculate the trajectory of the aircraft from the geometry between waypoints an...

Abstract

The application discloses a man-machine interface for managing the flight of an aircraft. A method for managing the flight of an aircraft comprises the steps of determining a flight context; selecting, as a function of the flight context determined, one or more display parameters and displaying one or more graphically selectable labels on a representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft, the representation being displayed on at least one screen in the cockpit of the aircraft; receiving indication of the selection of one or more labels and, in response to the selection, modifying the display of the representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft. Developments describe the provision of documentary resources, the use of display parameters and / or rules (e.g. sites and priorities). System aspects (e.g. augmented and / or virtual reality for increasing the addressable display area, feedback loop by gaze tracking) as well as software aspects (control of visual density) are described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flight management systems (FMS) embedded in airborne aircraft, and more particularly to the field of human-machine interfaces controlling these flight management systems. Background technique [0002] A flight management system (FMS) is an indispensable tool for managing the trajectory of an aircraft. [0003] For objects flying at high altitudes (eg, without landmarks), the navigation task is particularly complex, and the FMS system itself is a complex tool. This complexity manifests itself not only in the amount of information provided by the system, but also in the difficulty pilots experience in accessing the correct information, and more importantly, the difficulty in accessing the correct information at the correct time. [0004] When the condition of the aircraft is normal (eg, when the autopilot is engaged and the FMS is navigating the aircraft), the pilot's role primarily consists of mon...
