Telematics process for helicopters
First Claim
1. Telematic process for helicopters with an all-weather flight guidance and obstacle warning system which utilizes terrestrial or satellite-assisted mobile radiocommunications networks for the mobile communication, characterized in that the process is connected with a satellite-assisted and/or terrestrial locating system, wherein a) by means of a completely or partially automated transmission of position and operational information between the helicopter and a control center, based on the connection of a locating system with a mobile voice and/or data transmission, a unit and fleet management is established, b) an automatic, semiautomatic or manually controlled communication takes place with databanks in order to, on the one hand, retrieve data relevant to mission purposes and/or flight safety and, on the other hand, transmit actual data from the surroundings of the helicopter—
- such as weather data, obstacle backdrop, images, etc.—
to databanks, c) an indirect or direct mobile radiocommunications connection is established to existing earth-bound systems for emergency call and breakdown assistance, traffic and guiding systems system of all types, and is maintained, d) a transmission of patient diagnostic data takes place for the selection of the most suitable hospital, its preparation for the primary care as well as for obtaining assistance from specialists for the emergency medical personnel on board, e) data are transmitted concerning the condition of the helicopter and/or of the crew for an effective mission planning, servicing and spare parts supply.

Abstract
The invention relates to a telematics method for helicopters. According to the inventive method, the use spectrum of helicopters which are provided with all-weather flight guidance and obstacle warning systems is enlarged and flight security is further improved by transmitting data and/or speech by means of terrestrial and/or satellite-supported mobile radio telecommunications networks and by connecting to a locating system. Logistics processes of the helicopter operation and of the institutions benefiting from a helicopter use are optimised.
