Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic checklists for aircraft, and particularly to an inspection control method, an electronic device, and an aircraft for an aircraft. Background Art

[0002] In the standard flight operations of an aircraft, the operator will follow a set of standard procedures to check the operation status of the aircraft, so as to achieve the maintenance and inspection of normal, abnormal, and emergency situations before flight, during flight, and after flight during the operation of the aircraft. These standard procedures are listed together in the form of a checklist, which includes specific tasks to help the operator verify the aircraft status and manage the aircraft systems for safe operation. Currently, in aircraft operation, an electronic checklist is used to replace the paper checklist, and through the cooperation of the flight crew, complex airborne system information is managed to achieve the maintenance and inspection of normal, abnormal, and emergency situations before flight, during flight, and after flight during the operation of the aircraft. An electronic checklist is an interactive checklist tool based on electronic devices (such as avionics systems, touch screen displays, tablet computers, etc.), which is used to guide the operator (such as a pilot or flight crew) to complete various inspection tasks before flight, during flight, and after flight, and it ensures the completion of safety inspections through preset inspection items and logical sequences. Therefore, the electronic checklist can improve efficiency and reduce human errors through a standardized operation process.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 , which is an inspection control method for an aircraft provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method can be executed by an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. In this embodiment, the execution subject of this method is taken as the airborne avionics system of the aircraft or a portable electronic device associated with the aircraft as an example.

[0034] Optionally, the aircraft can be an eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft. The future potential applications of eVTOL aircraft involve various scenario modes such as urban passenger transportation, regional passenger transportation, freight transportation, personal aircraft, and emergency medical services. eVTOL aircraft use an electric propulsion system instead of an internal combustion engine power, thus obtaining many advantages and unique qualities. The most prominent advantage is energy conservation and environmental protection, high efficiency and low energy consumption, while achieving near-zero emissions, very low noise and vibration levels, and good ride comfort, making it a veritable environmentally friendly aircraft; in addition, it also has the characteristics of safety and reliability (no explosion and fuel leakage), simple structure, easy operation and use, good maintainability / low cost, and good economy; and there are also many advantages in design: the overall layout is flexible, and the best layout and unconventional / innovative layouts can be adopted; aircraft with extraordinary performance can be designed to meet special use requirements, etc. In addition, the aircraft can also be other aircraft other than eVTOL aircraft, such as large commercial aircraft, general aviation aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aircraft, etc.

[0035] The inspection control method for the aircraft provided by this embodiment includes the following steps (for example, step S11 to step S12): Step S11: Determine the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist corresponding to the current flight phase according to the inspection determination factors, where the inspection determination factors include at least one of flight plan data and aircraft status data.

[0036] In one embodiment, the flight phase can represent different phases divided according to flight plan data, flight status, and operation requirements during the operation of the aircraft. Reasonably dividing the flight phase helps operators (such as pilots and crew members) better manage flight tasks, perform standardized operations, and ensure flight safety.

[0037] In one embodiment, the flight phases can be divided into at least one of pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight according to the flight mission process. Among them, the in-flight phase can be further divided into at least one of startup, taxiing, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach (the phase of approaching the airport and preparing for landing), landing, taxiing to the parking position, and parking.

[0038] In one embodiment, the flight phases can be divided into at least one of the normal flight phase (the whole process from pre-flight to parking), the emergency flight phase (including emergency takeoff, emergency descent, and emergency landing), and the special mission phase (such as in-air refueling, formation flight, low-altitude flight, etc.) according to the flight mission type.

[0039] In one embodiment, the flight phases can also be divided according to the flight altitude and the aircraft state (ground or air).

[0040] In one embodiment, the flight plan data can represent the detailed information about the current flight formulated and submitted to the air traffic service unit before the flight according to factors such as flight mission requirements, meteorological conditions, and aircraft performance. Optionally, the flight plan data includes but is not limited to at least one of basic information (such as flight number, aircraft identification number, aircraft type, crew information, etc.), flight route-related information (such as departure location, destination, waypoints, airway, alternate location, etc.), planned flight parameters (such as flight altitude, flight speed, flight time, etc.), fuel plan information, and meteorological condition information.

[0041] In one embodiment, the aircraft state data can represent various data reflecting the current operating state of the aircraft collected in real time through on-board sensors, system monitoring devices, etc. during the operation of the aircraft. These data are used to monitor the performance, safety, and health status of the aircraft in real time to help pilots, ground control personnel, and maintenance personnel detect and handle abnormal situations in a timely manner. Optionally, the aircraft state data includes but is not limited to at least one of actual flight parameters (such as position information, flight speed, flight altitude, flight attitude, flight time, etc.), system status information (such as engine parameters, avionics system status information, hydraulic system status information, fuel system status, etc.), environmental parameters (such as actual meteorological conditions, airspace environment information, etc.), alarm information, fault information, and health monitoring data (such as the status information of components such as wings, landing gears, flaps, etc.).

[0042] It should be understood that the inspection determination factors, in addition to flight plan data and aircraft status data, may also include other factors that can assist in determining the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist that are most needed to be displayed at present. For example, the completed inspection items corresponding to the current checklist, the most recently completed inspection item corresponding to the current checklist, the most recently completed checklist, the current flight phase, the current checklist, the airborne system information, etc.

[0043] In one embodiment, according to the inspection determination factors, the current checklist corresponding to the current flight phase and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist are determined. For example, according to the airborne system information, flight plan data, and aircraft status data, the rudder surface inspection item of the checklist for flight control in the pre-flight phase that should be displayed currently is determined; for another example, according to the aircraft status data, the de-icing inspection item of the checklist for start control in the pre-flight phase that should be displayed currently is determined.

[0044] In one embodiment, each flight phase may include one or more checklists. When the current flight phase includes multiple checklists, the checklist that is most needed to be displayed currently can be determined through the inspection determination factors.

[0045] In one embodiment, the checklist is used to guide the operator to complete various inspection tasks in each flight phase, and through one or more inspection items and logical sequences, it is ensured that each inspection task can be completed as expected.

[0046] In one embodiment, the checklists of the aircraft may include at least one of the normal checklists for each flight phase, the emergency checklists for each flight phase, the abnormal checklists (or called exception checklists) for each flight phase, the special mission checklists for each flight phase, etc. Among them, the normal checklist is the most commonly used checklist in aircraft operation, which is used to ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy state in each flight phase. Among them, the emergency checklist is used to handle emergency situations that occur during aircraft operation, such as engine failure, fire, system failure, etc. Among them, the abnormal checklist is used to handle abnormal situations (or called exception situations) that occur during flight operation, such as system warnings, equipment failures, etc. Among them, the special mission checklist is used to specifically handle situations where special missions are executed, and special missions such as air refueling, formation flight, low-altitude flight, etc.

[0047] In one embodiment, each checklist may include one or more inspection items. When the current checklist includes multiple inspection items, the target inspection item that is most needed to be displayed currently can be determined through the inspection determination factors.

[0048] In one embodiment, the inspection item can represent a specific item that guides the operator to complete a specific operation, confirm the equipment status, or execute a safety procedure.

[0049] In one embodiment, the inspection items include at least one of, but not limited to, interactive inspection items, notification inspection items, etc. Among them, the interactive inspection items can be inspection items corresponding to specific functional components for guiding the operation of the aircraft. Among them, the notification inspection items can be inspection items for guiding the reference of parameters of specific functions of the aircraft.

[0050] In one embodiment, the inspection items can also include sub-inspection items, and the sub-inspection items can represent the decomposition actions for guiding the operator to complete specific operations or specific tasks.

[0051] Step S12: Prioritize the display of the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist.

[0052] In one embodiment, the situations of prioritizing the display of the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist include at least one of the following: Display the display page of the current checklist separately in the display interface; When there are display pages of multiple checklists in the display interface, display the display page of the current checklist in the front, or display the display page of the current checklist at a position in the display interface that is convenient for the operator to view and / or operate; Separate the display page (or display column) of the target inspection item in the display page of the current checklist; When there are display pages of multiple inspection items in the display page of the current checklist, display the display page of the target inspection item in the front, or display the display page of the target inspection item at a position in the display page of the current checklist that is convenient for the operator to view and / or operate.

[0053] The technical solution of this embodiment determines the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist corresponding to the current flight phase according to the inspection determination factors, and prioritizes the display of the current checklist and / or the target inspection items in the current checklist, which can enable the checklist to be designed without hierarchical layering. By automatically switching and displaying the inspection items that currently need the operator to view and / or operate in a single-level display interface, the interface display can be made more concise and understandable, reducing the skill requirements and workload of the operator. At the same time, the subsequent interaction efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, through the technical solution of this embodiment, inspection interaction can be carried out quickly and accurately in case of an emergency, reducing the risk of emergency handling. In addition, the technical solution of this embodiment can make the interface display more concise and understandable, thereby also reducing the use training cost.

[0054] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 3, Step S12: After preferentially displaying the current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist, it may include: Step S13: In response to the received inspection operation conforming to the preset operation corresponding to the target inspection item, it is determined that the target inspection item is completed.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inspection operation may represent various operations automatically or manually performed according to the preferentially displayed current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist.

[0056] In one embodiment, the preset operation corresponding to the target inspection item may represent the specified actions for completing the inspection content or inspection task corresponding to the target inspection item.

[0057] In one embodiment, the situation where the received inspection operation conforms to the preset operation corresponding to the target inspection item includes at least one of the following: The inspection operation includes controlling the hardware corresponding to the target inspection item; The inspection operation includes triggering and simultaneously displaying the display parameter display page corresponding to the target inspection item on the display page of the target inspection item.

[0058] In one embodiment, the target inspection item is an interactive inspection item, and the inspection operation includes controlling the hardware corresponding to the target inspection item. For example, according to the onboard system information, flight plan data, and aircraft status data, it is determined that the rudder surface inspection item of the pre-flight phase flight control checklist should be displayed currently. Then, the display page of the rudder surface (or flight control surface) inspection item is displayed in the display interface or the display page of the current checklist (see Figure 4 ), and the rudder surface inspection mode is automatically or manually started (such as manually clicking the ModeActive button on the display page of the rudder surface inspection item to activate the rudder surface inspection mode). After the pilot manipulates the side stick, the onboard system receives the side stick position data and confirms that the left and right rudder surfaces move to the predetermined design angles. Then, it is determined that the rudder surface inspection item is completed to automatically check the corresponding confirmation box, prompting the pilot to complete at least one sub-inspection item in the rudder surface inspection item.

[0059] In one embodiment, the target inspection item is a notification-type inspection item, and the inspection operation includes triggering and simultaneously displaying the display parameter display page corresponding to the target inspection item on the display page of the target inspection item. For example, according to the aircraft status data, it is determined that the anti-ice inspection item of the start control checklist in the pre-flight phase should be displayed currently. Then, the display page of the anti-ice inspection item is displayed in the display interface or the display page of the current checklist (see Figure 5), the anti-icing inspection items usually require checking the status parameters of the environmental control system. Therefore, the parameter viewing page or the parameter viewing pop-up window can be opened automatically or manually (for example, manually clicking the Synoptic Page button or the summary page button on the display page of the anti-icing inspection item to open the parameter viewing page), and the parameter viewing page or the parameter viewing pop-up window and the display page of the anti-icing inspection item are displayed simultaneously for the pilot to view the various parameters of the environmental control system, so as to determine that this anti-icing inspection item is completed.

[0060] In one embodiment, for the interactive inspection items, the traditional operation method requires the pilot to view the display page of the interactive inspection item and then manipulate the hardware corresponding to the interactive inspection item. After the pilot determines that the manipulation is completed and meets the requirements according to his own experience, the confirmation box on the display page of the interactive inspection item is manually selected to complete the interactive inspection item. Therefore, the interaction efficiency is low and it depends on the experience of the operator. For the notification inspection items, the traditional operation method requires the pilot to view the display page of the interactive inspection item and then switch to other pages in a complex way to view various parameters corresponding to the interactive inspection item. After viewing, the confirmation box on the display page of the notification inspection item is manually selected to complete the notification inspection item. Therefore, it is necessary to switch between different pages and the interaction efficiency is low. However, the technical solution of this embodiment includes: Step S11: Determine the current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist corresponding to the current flight phase according to the inspection determination factors, where the inspection determination factors include at least one of flight plan data and aircraft status data; Step S12: Prioritize the display of the current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist; Step S13: Determine that the target inspection item is completed in response to the received inspection operation meeting the preset operation corresponding to the target inspection item. Through this technical solution, not only can the display of the checklist be optimized, but also the hardware corresponding to the interactive checklist can be directly operated and the completion of the operation can be automatically determined to automatically check the corresponding confirmation box, and the parameter page can be displayed on the same interface as the display page of the notification checklist. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can achieve simple and convenient interaction to complete each inspection item, further improve the interaction efficiency, and also reduce the dependence on the experience of the operator.

[0061] In one embodiment, Step S12: Prioritize the display of the current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist may include: when the target inspection item meets the first preset condition, a delete feedback button is displayed at the display position of the target inspection item; after receiving the operation event on the delete feedback button, the target inspection item is added to the deletion evaluation list; and the deletion evaluation list is reported as user feedback data.

[0062] In one embodiment, the first preset condition may represent various conditions for identifying the redundancy risk of the target inspection item.

[0063] In this way, the technical solution of this embodiment can display a deletion feedback button at the display position of the target inspection item when it is recognized that there is a redundancy risk in the target inspection item, so that the operator can conveniently collect user feedback data through the displayed deletion feedback button, so that after subsequent reporting operations, the operation and maintenance end can complete the update and iteration according to the user feedback data, thereby avoiding over-design or large inspection items, and further enabling the inspection item logic to be clearer and more concise.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first preset condition includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: The number of inspection items in the inspection list to which the target inspection item belongs exceeds the first preset number; The number of inspection items corresponding to the specific system settings of the target inspection item exceeds the second preset number; The number of associated items associated with the target inspection item exceeds the third preset number.

[0065] Among them, the first preset number, the second preset number, and the third preset number can each be set to any numerical value according to actual needs. The first preset number, the second preset number, and the third preset number can be partially or completely the same or different from each other.

[0066] In one embodiment, when the number of inspection items in the inspection list to which the target inspection item belongs exceeds the first preset number, it can indicate that the number of inspection items in the inspection list is large, there is a redundancy risk, and deletion can be performed.

[0067] In one embodiment, when the number of inspection items corresponding to the specific system settings of the target inspection item exceeds the second preset number, it can indicate that the number of inspection items in the specific system settings is large, there is a redundancy risk, and deletion can be performed.

[0068] In one embodiment, when the number of associated items associated with the target inspection item exceeds the third preset number, it can indicate that the associated link corresponding to the target inspection item is too long, and there may be a risk that the logic of the associated items is not clear, and deletion can be performed. Among them, the associated link includes multiple inspection items with logical associations, and the multiple inspection items are associated with each other.

[0069] In one embodiment, step S12: preferentially display the current inspection list and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection list, which may include: when the current inspection list meets the second preset condition, display a deletion feedback button at the display position of the current inspection list; after receiving an operation event on the deletion feedback button, add the current inspection list to the deletion evaluation list; and report the deletion evaluation list as user feedback data for reporting operations.

[0070] In one embodiment, the second preset condition may represent various conditions for identifying the redundancy risk of the current checklist.

[0071] In this way, the technical solution of this embodiment can display a delete feedback button at the display position of the current checklist when identifying the redundancy risk of the current checklist, so that the operator can conveniently collect user feedback data through the displayed delete feedback button, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance end to complete the update iteration according to the user feedback data after subsequent reporting operations (providing demand support for the update iteration), thereby avoiding over-design or a large number of checklists, and further enabling the checklist logic to be clearer and more concise.

[0072] In one embodiment, the second preset condition includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: The number of checklists in the current flight phase to which the current checklist belongs exceeds the fourth preset number; The number of checklists set for the specific system corresponding to the current checklist exceeds the fifth preset number; The number of associated checklists associated with the current checklist exceeds the sixth preset number.

[0073] Among them, the fourth preset number, the fifth preset number, and the sixth preset number can each be set to any numerical value according to actual needs. The fourth preset number, the fifth preset number, and the sixth preset number may be partially or completely the same or different from each other.

[0074] In one embodiment, that the number of checklists in the current flight phase to which the current checklist belongs exceeds the fourth preset number may indicate that the number of checklists in the current flight phase is large, there is a redundancy risk, and deletion can be performed.

[0075] In one embodiment, that the number of checklists set for the specific system corresponding to the current checklist exceeds the fifth preset number may indicate that the number of checklists set for the specific system is large, there is a redundancy risk, and deletion can be performed.

[0076] In one embodiment, that the number of associated checklists associated with the current checklist exceeds the sixth preset number may indicate that the associated link corresponding to the current checklist is too long, and there may be a risk that the logic of the associated checklists is not clearly sorted out, and deletion can be performed. Among them, the associated link includes multiple checklists with logical associations, and the multiple checklists are mutually associated checklists.

[0077] Exemplarily, the actual operation and operation requirements involved in eVOTL aircraft are complex. Related subsystems such as the power system and energy system are rarely involved in previous aircraft designs. Therefore, during the R & D stage, the requirement identification of inspection contents is insufficient, or the logical sorting of related items of inspection contents is unclear, which inevitably leads to over-design, resulting in a large number of inspection sheets and inspection items in the inspection sheet. Therefore, through the above technical solution, it is possible to delete and feedback the over-designed inspection sheet and inspection items in the inspection sheet, so that after the subsequent update and iteration are completed according to the deletion feedback, the design logic of the inspection sheet and the design logic of the inspection items in the inspection sheet are more in line with the actual requirements, thereby avoiding over-design and further improving the inspection efficiency of the aircraft.

[0078] In one embodiment, step S12: After preferentially displaying the current inspection sheet and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection sheet, it may include: receiving improvement suggestion information for the display page of the current inspection sheet and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection sheet; reporting the improvement suggestion information as user feedback data.

[0079] In one embodiment, the improvement suggestion information may represent improvement opinions on the display layout and / or interaction data of the display page of the current inspection sheet, or improvement opinions on the display layout and / or interaction data of the display page of the target inspection item in the current inspection sheet.

[0080] In this way, the technical solution of this embodiment can provide requirement support for the update and iteration of the display layout and / or interaction data of the display page of each inspection sheet or the display page of each inspection item in each inspection sheet, so as to quickly collect user feedback data and shorten the update and iteration cycle.

[0081] The traditional update and iteration process relies on engineers and pilots from multiple levels of departments such as operation, application, and system to jointly conduct simulation platform demonstrations, tests, interviews, etc. In this process, it takes a long time to simulate and reproduce the actual flight scenario and convert the feedback of the pilot into design data. However, through the technical solution of this embodiment, it is possible to quickly collect user feedback data, so as to quickly convert the effective user feedback data into design data and shorten the update and iteration cycle.

[0082] In one embodiment, the method provided in this embodiment may further include: receiving a new inspection sheet database updated by the operation and maintenance end based on user feedback data; responding according to the new inspection sheet database. In this way, the technical solution of this embodiment, when receiving the new inspection sheet database updated by the operation and maintenance end based on user feedback data, configures the new inspection sheet database in the airborne system, so that when the airborne system displays the inspection sheet or inspection item, it can call the data of the display page of each inspection sheet or the data of the display page of each inspection item from the new inspection sheet database.

[0083] In one embodiment, when the on-board system displays the checklist, it is mainly controlled by the data module and the display and control module. Among them, the data module loads the checklist database, and at the same time receives the data of the on-board system sensing, flight plan data, aircraft personalized configuration, and crew control interaction, and comprehensively processes and formats it to output specific formatted display data to the display and control module. Among them, the display and control module receives the specific formatted display data and combines it with the aircraft personalized configuration to perform display content rendering, and controls the display unit to display the rendered checklist for use by the crew and maintenance personnel. Optionally, the interaction data between the data module and the display and control module can also be fed back to the operation and maintenance terminal as the input for checklist design iteration.

[0084] In one embodiment, the operation and maintenance terminal can be a cloud server. The operation and maintenance terminal can use the human-computer interaction design of the basic inspection items of the aircraft manufacturer and the human-computer interaction design of the basic checklist as a baseline, and superimpose the human-computer interaction requirements of the inspection items specific to the operator or the human-computer interaction requirements of the specific checklist to perform incremental design iteration to obtain a new checklist database.

[0085] In one embodiment, the response according to the new checklist database includes at least one of the following: Controlling the display layout of the display page of each inspection item according to the new checklist database; Controlling the display layout of the display page of each checklist according to the new checklist database; Controlling the display of corresponding first interaction data on the display page of each inspection item according to the new checklist database; Controlling the display of corresponding second interaction data on the display page of each checklist according to the new checklist database.

[0086] In one embodiment, the first interaction data can represent various data displayed on the display page of the inspection item and provided for the operator to view and / or operate.

[0087] In one embodiment, the second interaction data can represent various data displayed on the display page of the checklist and provided for the operator to view and / or operate.

[0088] In one embodiment, step S12: preferentially displaying the current checklist and / or the target inspection item in the current checklist may include: when it is obtained that the fault object corresponding to the un-displayed abnormal inspection item is associated with the inspection object corresponding to the target inspection item, the abnormal inspection item is simultaneously displayed on the display page of the target inspection item; wherein, the un-displayed abnormal inspection item is the inspection item generated after the abnormal checklist is completed first and delayed.

[0089] In one embodiment, there is an association between the fault object corresponding to the unshown abnormal inspection item and the inspection object corresponding to the target inspection item. For example, the fault object corresponding to the unshown abnormal inspection item and the inspection object corresponding to the target inspection item are the same hardware or on-board function; or, the usage logic or function implementation logic of the fault object corresponding to the unshown abnormal inspection item is associated with the usage logic or function implementation logic of the inspection object corresponding to the target inspection item.

[0090] Thus, the technical solution of this embodiment can, after completing the abnormal inspection list, when displaying the inspection items associated with the newly added abnormal inspection item with delay in the current inspection list, display the newly added abnormal inspection item with delay simultaneously, so that the operator can know the fault situation of the delayed feedback, accurately judge how to operate the aircraft correctly or how to correctly complete the target inspection item of the current inspection list, thereby improving the safety of operating the aircraft. In addition, displaying the newly added abnormal inspection item with delay and the current associated target inspection item simultaneously can avoid missing the abnormal inspection operation and also avoid the possibility of misoperation in the current flight stage caused by displaying the newly added abnormal inspection item with delay without logic.

[0091] In one embodiment, after step S12: preferentially display the current inspection list and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection list, it may include: in response to receiving a usage guidance request, display the operation guidance information for the target inspection item. Thus, the technical solution of this embodiment can implement the new user guidance function and reduce the usage training cost.

[0092] In one embodiment, the usage guidance request can be triggered by a physical button or a virtual button on the display interface, or can also be triggered by a specific interaction gesture or a voice command.

[0093] The inspection control method for an aircraft provided in this embodiment includes: step S11: determine the current inspection list corresponding to the current flight stage and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection list according to the inspection determination factors, where the inspection determination factors include at least one of flight plan data and aircraft status data; step S12: preferentially display the current inspection list and / or the target inspection item in the current inspection list. Thus, the technical solution of this embodiment can quickly determine the inspection list or target inspection item that needs to be processed currently according to the inspection determination factors (such as flight plan data, aircraft status data, etc.) for preferential display, so as to facilitate the interaction of the operator. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can optimize the display of the inspection list for convenient interaction.
