Method and system for monitoring the performance of an aircraft during the take-off manoeuvre
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring performance of an aircraft during a take-off maneuver, the method including the steps of monitoring progress of the maneuver by acquiring data representative of the aircraft'"'"'s motion at a plurality of points during the maneuver, generating a function that best fits the acquired data, and using the generated function to predict future progress of the maneuver.

- 1. A method of monitoring performance of an aircraft during a take-off maneuver, the method including the steps of monitoring progress of the maneuver by acquiring data representative of the aircraft'"'"'s motion at a plurality of points during the maneuver, generating a function that best fits the acquired data, and using the generated function to predict future progress of the maneuver.
- 6. The method set forth in claim 6, wherein a second order polynomial function is fit to data representing the monitored progress of the maneuver.
- 16. A system for monitoring the performance of an aircraft during a take-off maneuver, the system including a data acquisition unit, a data processing device and a display device, the system being constructed and arranged so as to monitor progress of the take-off maneuver, wherein, during operation, the data acquisition unit acquires data representative of the motion of the aircraft at a plurality of points during the maneuver, the data processing device generates a function that best fits the acquired data, and the data processing device uses the generated function to predict future progress of the maneuver.
- 21. A display device for an aircraft performance monitor, the display device including an indicator element that, in use, extends from a first position representing a scheduled level of performance to a second position representing an achieved level of performance, the length and direction of the indicator element representing respectively, the magnitude and sign of the difference between the scheduled performance and the achieved performance.
