1. A device for an engine-operated aircraft, the device comprising:
- at least one avionic component positioned in the aircraft;
at least one engine control positioned in or close to an engine of the aircraft; and
at least one engine interface positioned in the aircraft, the at least one engine interface being adapted for exchanging data between the at least one avionic component and the at least one engine control, the at least one engine interface comprising a function to acquire data from different sources and functions of engine integration such as redundancy and verification of consistency of the data, the at least one engine interface being generic and adapted for communicating with engine controls of different types that can be mounted on the aircraft, and the at least one engine control being specific to one type of engine.

Abstract
A device for a motorized aircraft includes at least one avionic component positioned in the aircraft, at least one engine interface positioned in the aircraft and at least one engine controller positioned in or near an engine of the aircraft. The at least one engine interface is designed to exchange data between the at least one avionic component and the at least one engine controller. The at least one engine interface is generic and able to communicate with engine controllers of various types that may be mounted on the aircraft. The at least one engine controller is specific to a particular engine.
