Abstract
A device for evaluation of the operational capabilities of an aircraft for informing a user about the capabilities of the aircraft to carry out a mission. Included are means for detecting malfunctions of aircraft equipment adapted for functioning during a mission. An evaluation device includes means for acquisition of information about the mission; a means for calculating observed feasibility level of the mission on the basis of at least one detected malfunction and the information obtained about the mission of the aircraft; and a means for presenting a synthetic reactive indicator, representative of the observed feasibility level of the mission in at least one instant of the mission. The means for acquisition, calculation and presentation are adapted for functioning during the mission, to inform the user about the observed feasibility level of the mission depending on the detection of new malfunctions and/or the modifications of the mission in course.

11. An evaluation device for evaluation of the operational capabilities of an aircraft designed to inform a user about the capabilities of the aircraft to carry out a mission, the aircraft comprising multiple devices and the evaluation device including means for detection of malfunctions (Di) of the equipments of the aircraft, with the means for detection adapted for functioning during the accomplishment of the mission, the evaluation device comprising:
-
means for acquisition of information (M) about the mission; means for calculation of an observed feasibility level (F0) of the mission on the basis of at least one detected malfunction (Di) and information (M) obtained about the mission of the aircraft; and means for presenting a synthetic reactive indicator, representative of the observed feasibility level (F0) of the mission in at least one given instant of the mission; wherein the means for acquisition, calculation and presentation being adapted for functioning during the execution of the mission, in order to inform the user about the evolution of the observed feasibility level (F0) of the mission depending on the detection of new malfunctions (Di) and/or the modifications of the mission in course. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for evaluation of the operational capabilities of an aircraft, comprising the following steps:
-
detecting at least one malfunction (Di); acquiring information (M) about the mission of the aircraft; calculating, on the basis of each detected malfunction (Di) and the information (M) obtained about the mission of the aircraft, an observed feasibility level (F0) of the mission; and presenting a synthetic reactive indicator (124) that is representative for the observed feasibility level (F0); the preceding steps being repeated several times during the execution of the mission, in order to inform the user about the evolution of the observed feasibility level (F0) of the mission depending on the detection of new malfunctions (Di) and/or the modifications of the mission in course. - View Dependent Claims (30)
