METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRIGGERING AN EMERGENCY MEASURE
First Claim
1. A method for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency, the method comprising determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic,wherein for each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures a threshold is defined and each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures is only triggered if the determined risk level exceeds the threshold defined for the emergency measure.

Abstract
A method for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency is disclosed. The method includes determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic. For each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures a threshold is defined and each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures is only triggered if the determined risk level exceeds the threshold defined for the emergency measure. Further, a system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency and an aircraft comprising such a system are disclosed.

8. A system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency, wherein the system comprises a control unit,
wherein the control unit is adapted to receive a plurality of flight parameters or aircraft parameters from a control system of the aircraft and to determine a risk level for an aircraft emergency by evaluating the plurality of flight parameters or aircraft parameters received from the control system using a predefined logic, wherein the control unit is adapted to define for each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures a threshold and to trigger each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures only if the determined risk level exceeds the threshold defined for the emergency measure.
