METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRIGGERING AN EMERGENCY MEASURE
First Claim
1. A method for triggering a first emergency measure associated with an aircraft emergency comprising determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency and triggering the first emergency measure if the risk level exceeds a first threshold for the first emergency measure,wherein the risk level is determined by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic, andwherein the first threshold is adjusted according to a position of the aircraft over ground.

Abstract
A method for triggering a first emergency measure associated with an aircraft emergency comprising the steps of determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency and triggering the first emergency measure if the risk level exceeds a first threshold for the first emergency measure is described and claimed. The risk level is determined by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic. The first threshold is adjusted according to a position of the aircraft over ground. Furthermore, a system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a first emergency measure and an aircraft comprising such a system are disclosed.
