Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer implemented method of computing performance for an aircraft, comprises the steps of collecting data from a plurality of data sources comprising data sources of avionics type and external data sources of non-avionics type; processing the data collected in an electronic device of EFB or electronic flight bag type; and undertaking the performance computation. Developments describe the extraction of data from images or audio streams; the manipulation of data of alarm, INOP, aircraft status, air conditioning and anti-ice, runway, ATIS, meteorological and/or NOTAM type; the interfaces with an FPS or flight planning system and/or a CMS or centralized maintenance system. System aspects and software aspects are described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A computer implemented method of computing performance for an aircraft, comprising the steps of: collecting data from a plurality of data sources comprising data sources of avionics type and external data sources of non-avionics type; processing the data collected in an electronic device of EFB or electronic flight bag type; undertaking the performance computation. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , the step of collecting data comprising a step of acquiring one or more images in the cockpit of the aircraft, the said cockpit comprising one or more viewing screens, and a step of extracting data from at least one image acquired in the cockpit. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , the step of collecting data comprising a step of extracting data from an audio stream. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , the collected data comprising one or more data of alarm, INOP, aircraft status, air conditioning and anti-ice, runway, ATIS, meteorological and/or NOTAM type. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , the processing step comprising one or more operations from among operations of interpretation, filtering and conversion of data. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , the avionics data sources being transmitted by the interface equipment of the aircraft from data arising from an FPS or flight planning system and/or a CMS or centralized maintenance system. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , the external data sources being transmitted by one or more ground servers and the external data comprising meteorological and/or NOTAM notices type data. 8 . The method according to claim 1 , the external data sources furthermore comprising data arising from the Internet network. 9 . The method according to claim 5 , the operation of interpreting the collected data being performed by means of an avionics protocols model. 10 . The method according to claim 5 , the operation of converting the collected data being performed by means of a predefined conversion file. 11 . The method according to claim 1 , the step of undertaking the performance computation being preceded by the reception of a correction or of the validation of one or more items of data by the pilot for the performance computation. 12 . A computer program product, said computer program comprising code instructions making it possible to perform the steps of the method according to claim 1 , when the said program is executed on a computer. 13 . A system comprising means for implementing one or more steps of the method according to claim 1 .
