Device for monitoring at least one pilot in a cockpit of an aircraft
First Claim
1. A device for monitoring at least one pilot in a cockpit of an aircraft, which device comprises:
- a first means (2) comprising at least one means of sensory recognition (3, 4), for pre-flight automatic characterization of said pilot who is located at a control station in said cockpit, by establishing a reference profile of said pilot;
a second means (5) comprising at least one means of sensory recognition (6, 7), for real-time automatic characterization, throughout the flight, of the person located at said control station, by establishing an actual profile of said person;
a means of information processing (8) for comparing in real time, throughout the flight, said actual profile with said reference profile, and for transmitting a dissimilarity signal, when said actual profile is different from said reference profile; and
a means of alert (9) for sending an alert signal to an air traffic control station (10), when said means of information processing (8) transmits a dissimilarity signal.
