Pilot flight safety advisor and flight/mission controller

摘要

A system that can monitor an aircraft by monitoring messages on the aircraft's systems network, can check the state of switching and other devices and can detect potential problems and advise the pilot so he can react accordingly. This is achieved by means of an advisor/controller device that analyses the information monitored and generates an appropriate aural warning message via a speaker in the cockpit. Using the same method, the system can also remind the pilot to carry out tasks. In certain cases, the system can initiate a task itself by generating either a message over the aircraft's system network or controlling a switching device. The advisor/controller device 3, comprises a power socket 4, and may be connected to the aircraft's system network by a socket 5, to a cockpit speaker via a socket 6, and to devices such as switches via a socket 7.
