Flight Checklist Assistance System, which uses voice output to output checklists of aircraft and air sports equipment

Abstract

Flight checklist assistance system which outputs checklists of aircraft and air sports equipment by means of voice output, characterized in that the hardware is installed in a housing and, depending on the configuration, is connected to the aircraft radio and / or the headset via a radio connection, for example Bluetooth or cable.

Description

[0001] Checklists or checklists are typically used in paper form on aircraft, aviation equipment, and air sports equipment. They are a list-like procedure that contains the checks and actions required to carry out measures in the correct sequence. Checklists are always read, and the execution of each item is checked (in larger aircraft, this is checked by the second member of the crew). This is intended to prevent important points from being forgotten due to routine, stress, or carelessness, even if the pilots know the procedures "like the back of their hand."

[0002] The invention defined in claim 1 is based on the problem that the pilot is distracted while reading checklists in paper form, which can endanger flight safety.

[0003] This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1.

[0004] The invention also makes it possible to check, for example in the event of an aircraft accident, whether the pilot has completed the prescribed checklists.
