Application: Method for remotely controlling the flight of an aircraft, and associated communication module (Patent ID: US20240185727A1)
The patent filed by Thales SA describes a method for remotely controlling the flight of an aircraft in the event of pilot incapacity. The method involves receiving a coded signal from a terrestrial communication station, decoding it using a predetermined code stored in the communication module, and then sending a command to the flight management center to prompt the aircraft to follow a second flight plan. This second flight plan may involve landing at a different airport, determined based on localization data or airport selection criteria.
Additionally, the patent includes provisions for allowing the pilot to regain control of the aircraft if their incapacity is resolved, as well as specific details regarding the communication module's functionality, such as receiving signals through exclusive or clear communication channels. The method also considers various factors for determining pilot incapacity, such as aircraft parameters, communication loss, or vital parameter data transmitted by the aircraft. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for ensuring the safe remote control of an aircraft in case of pilot inability to operate the aircraft.
