Provided are embodiments of a method for operating a hazard protection system. The method includes reading a tag coupled to a pallet storing cargo, determining a cargo type of the cargo, and initializing a configuration of parameters for the multi-parameter sensor based on the cargo type. The method also includes monitoring a cargo hold storing the cargo based at least in part on the initialized configuration of the multi-parameter sensor, and displaying the cargo type and hazard definition. Also provided are embodiments for a hazard protection system.

A method of operating an aircraft interface device may comprise receiving a request for a data dictionary from an electronic flight bag application and transmitting the data dictionary to the electronic flight bag application. The data dictionary may comprise a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers. Values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device. The method may also include receiving a request for values of one or more of the parameters from the electronic flight bag, retrieving values of the parameters, and transmitting the values of the parameters to the electronic flight bag application.

A method of providing an indication identifying a flight as including or not including a flight path deviation, the method includes receiving flight data associated with a flight, the flight data comprising a plurality of coordinates indicating a location of an aircraft at a plurality of times during the flight. The method also includes classifying a plurality of time intervals of the flight by applying a convolutional neural network algorithm to subsets of the plurality coordinates to determine that the time interval includes or does not include at least one flight path deviation. The method also includes identifying the flight as including at least one flight path deviation if at least one of the time intervals is classified as including the at least one flight path deviation and providing an indication identifying the flight as including at least one flight path deviation to a second computing system in response to identifying the flight as including at least one flight path deviation.

A method for integration of a portable electronic device (PED) with a flight deck display in some embodiments includes providing an onboard network coupled to a flight-deck-installed, multi-function display and coupling the PED to the onboard network. The method may also include receiving information from a PED hosted application in the PED, routing information through a gateway and/or a plurality of firewalls, and displaying information on the flight-deck-installed, multi-function display. In some embodiments, a pilot control interface is coupled to the PED through the onboard network, and a plurality of functions on the PED is controlled via the pilot control interface. An airplane in some embodiments includes a fuselage portion, a wing portion, and a system that carries out the method, possibly through use of computer readable storage medium with stored instructions.

An assembly for an aircraft. The assembly comprises a frame, an instrument panel fixed to the frame, a support system with an arm bearing a tray in which the arm positions the tray behind the instrument panel, and in which the tray comprises a first attachment arrangement, and a support comprising a second attachment arrangement which cooperates with the first attachment arrangement to removably fix the support onto the tray. The support also comprises a fixing system which ensures the removable fixing of a touch tablet onto the support. With such an assembly, the touch tablet is held without the aid of the pilot and it is positioned in front of him or her for easy access.

A method includes receiving, at a controller, a signal from each load cell of a plurality of load cells coupled to an aircraft cargo roller panel of an aircraft. Each signal is indicative of a load experienced by the load cell when cargo is on the aircraft cargo roller panel. The method also includes determining, based on the signals, a weight of the cargo, a center of gravity of the cargo, or both.

A system for monitoring the operational status of an aircraft between successive missions of the aircraft includes a computer able to determine at least one operational impact measurement on at least one future mission of the aircraft related to the aircraft and/or to an aircraft equipment and/or to a consumable and/or to the aircraft crew, the operational impact measurement being determined as a function of the flight logbook and/or technical logbook data of at least one already completed mission of the aircraft and/or a context of the future mission. The system includes a display and a display manager on the display, able to display on the display at least one operational impact indicator related to the aircraft and/or to the equipment and/or to the consumable and/or to the crew, as a function of the operational impact measurement determined by the computer.

An electronic device for an aircraft. The electronic device comprising a memory associated with an Operating System (OS) and at least one application at least partially operable by way of the electronic device. The at least one application is further configured to establish a connection with at least one avionics system of an aircraft for receiving data from the at least one avionics system.

An addressable display system configured for use in a mounting adapter configured to mount a personal electronic device (PED) on an aircraft includes a transparent surface configured to overlay the display surface of a PED when the PED is mounted in the mounting adapter wherein the transparent surface includes a region that is uniformly coated with a coating layer that when activated with a select excitation wavelength is configured to emit visible light to annunciate a message indicating a problem with an image displayed on a PED display; a lighting source configured to provide light in at an excitation wavelength; a MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) scanner module that is controllable to write desired symbology for annunciation at different addressable locations on the transparent surface; and an imaging device configured to capture an image of the PED display for an integrity check of data displayed on the PED display.
