AN INNOVATIVE CONCEPT TO IMPROVE

FLIGHT SAFETY AND AIRCRAFT RELIABILITY

A single computer integrating several

functionalities:

Aircraft Performance Monitoring (APM)

To improve safety and pilot awareness significant indicators
are located on the pilot’s display unit:

The indicator illuminates when cruise speed CRUISE

SPEED speed is reached. Consequently crew must
increase aircraft speed.

QAR (Quick Access Recorder)
