1. An electronic apparatus for assisting a pilot of an aircraft, the aircraft including avionics equipment implementing operational capacities of the aircraft and a monitoring system, each avionics equipment being associated with one or several operating parameters, the monitoring system being configured to determine monitoring information relative to the aircraft from operating parameters and operational capacities,the apparatus being intended to be onboard the aircraft and comprising:

  • an acquisition circuit configured to acquire the monitoring information from the monitoring system,an anomaly detection circuit configured to detect at least one anomaly from among a breakdown of an avionics equipment and a failure of an operational capacity, from acquired monitoring information and anomaly detection rules, the anomaly detection rules being contained in a predefined database,an inference circuit configured to identify, for each detected anomaly, one or several causes that may have caused said anomaly, based on first level relationships between avionics equipment breakdowns and operational capacity failures, the first level relationships being contained in the predefined database, anda likelihood circuit configured to calculate, for each identified cause, a likelihood indicator based on at least one parameter chosen from the group consisting of;

    a likelihood of occurrence for each avionics equipment breakdown, a history of preceding avionics equipment breakdowns and a confidence level associated with the monitoring system, the parameters being contained in the predefined database.
