Airplane emergency navigational system
First Claim
1. An emergency navigational system that at least partially controls the navigation of an aircraft comprising a comparator device that compares actual flight parameter data at a particular time, at a particular location, or combinations thereof to predefined flight parameter data for said particular time, said particular location, or combinations thereof, and a navigational controller that takes control of at least one navigational control of said aircraft after said data compared by said comparator deviates beyond a predefined value.

Abstract
An emergency navigational system that monitors the navigation of an aircraft by comparing actual flight parameter data to predefined flight parameter data to thereby determine if the actual flight parameter data deviates beyond a defined value, and if so, activating a navigational controller to at least partially control the navigation of the aircraft.

22. The method of at least partially controlling an aircraft that has deviated from at least one predefined flight parameter comprising:
-
a. including at least one predefined flight parameter for at least a portion of a flight path of said aircraft into a database, said predefined flight parameter corresnonding to a particular location, to a particular time, or combinations thereof; b. monitoring at least one flight parameter during the flight of said aircraft which corresponds to said at least one predefined flight parameter; c. comparing said at least one predefined flight parameter to said corresponding monitored flight parameter; and
,d. causing an emergency navigational system to activate a navigational controller after determining said monitored flight parameter exceeds a predefined deviation from said predefined flight parameter, said navigational controller at least partially controlling the navigation of said aircraft after being activated. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
